Got back from the Lake district on Sunday and could detect a little noise in the nearside front, when I got back I grabs the tyre (in the traditional manner) and gives it a pull side to side as it were....definate movement, so today I remove wheel and the hub dust cover, there is a strange lock washer that covers the nut and has metal strands that interfere with the threads "preventing" its accidentally undoing itself...Is this the STD method, I'm traditionally used to a castellated nut and a split pin? anyway the hub nut is barely tight by any defination but over tightening prevents the front wheel from any movement at all, I tightened it a little replaced the H Robinson lock washer and all seems better...Is there a prefered method or is summut up as we say in the North...am I better replacing something complicated and no doubt expensive?
