Default hub bearing preload?
Anyone know if the hub bearing preload is adjustable, or is it set by a spacer between the bearings so not adjustable by hubnut tightness

cheers

So the inner races touch and are ground to suit, and a changeout job when you have excessive play?

Pretty much Once the hub is torqued the two Races touch and that's it. Once it generates Any free play its a strip out and replace job
