Hi all and merry Boxing Day.
I have just swapped the Boost alloys on my Td5 for some modular steels and Insa Turbo Dakar tyres. I'm not going to get bogged down by tyre pressures (30 front, 35 rear for me) or torque figures (140Nm does me) but I do have another question.
When I took the front, offside wheel off I noticed a hub bolt was missing. This was hidden when the alloy was fitted and couldn't have fallen out with the wheel on so I assume that someone knew it was missing when they last fitted the wheel and I also assume that this means the threads in the hub are stripped cos' why would you not fit the bolt?
I will try a new bolt but the question is, what are the implications of running my 90 with the bolt missing? It isn't vibrating and feels fine but I'm a bit concerned.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Ps. If anyone could suggest the best tyre pressures or torque figures for 235/70/16 Insa Turbo Dakar tyres on modular steels on a Td5 90 on 02 plates it would be nice!!!
