I did the "repair" today, removing the nuts "trying" to put a bit of grease in the spindle (I used a hypodermic syringe) but the tolerances would have nothing with it.

I used the torque wrench to get the nut to 190lb.

I took it for a ride and did not hear the sharp "snap" as in the past. I did hear a very, very soft *pop* occasionally as I transitioned from forward to back. I admit I was "looking" for a sound so I could have imagined normal car noises. If the radio was on at any volume I probably would not notice anything-- again I was listening hard.

So, would you leave things alone for go back in and put an additional 10lbs on the nut?
