I had posted about this problem before but thought I'd inadvertantly put a worn hub back on instead of a new one. Now it's about 600 miles later & the new hub is worn out again. I know I torqued it right - even double checked with a 2nd torque wrench to be sure mine was accurate. What else would make bearing/hub assemblies wear out that fast?
It's like they are separating because after I knocked out the lugs the play in the hub was gone -- that leads me to think knocking out the lugs pressed it back together. I will be looking this weekend, but the only think I can think of is the splines on the stub axle don't go deep enough for the "bell" on the CV isn't pressing against the back of the hub assembly. Does that sound viable? Other reasons for this sypmtom?

Here's a link to your original thread/posts rficalora.
New guy - lots to learn - some early questions
As I remember, the torque specs seemed high.
