I have about 500-600 miles on my new 2014 Outback 298RE and I decided to have steel valve stems installed and have all tires balanced. I removed 2 at a time and down to the shop. On the second set as I was hand tightening the rim to the hub I noticed that the rim had a wobble after the nuts were tight.
Turns out the axle NUT was more than a full turn loose. I pulled the nut and checked out the race and bearing. They looked o.k., so I tightened the nut up then backed off one space, put in new cotter key and pumped new grease till the old started to mix with the new. (Dexter Axle) RECHECKED the first set of rims and yep the back axle nut was loose but not as bad. So owners have you checked your axle nuts or just hope they were tighten from the factory correctly. What kind of trip I might of had if the hub went to hell on the road.
Just my heads up to everyone.
