My 2000 montana has a bad front wheel bearing so I replaced it and just took it for a drive and after about 10 miles I started to hear a clunking in the front end.Something loosend up I will check tomorrow too see what but right now I want to see if I did anything wrong.There are 3 13mm bolts that hold the hub/bearing assembly on I torque them to 65 ftlbs with no thread locker and torqued the big driveshaft nut to 175 ftlbs also no thread locker and I reused all the bolts, was this the right way or should I have torqued differently or used some sort of locker or do you have to replace the big nut and small bolts everytime?any help will be much appreciated thanks.

Should have replaced all the bolts, and axle nut.
Didnt the new hub come with them?
Was it a Delco replacment part?
Check to see if the caliper bols are loose
Common clunk noise.

Travis thanks for the info I took it apart and nothing was wrong!except the new bearing I got from the parts store is junk the clunking I have going on is the bearing itself'it has side movement so tomorrow I'm going to return it and try a different bearing.thanks.
