    I got the axle nut fixed enough to torque it back on. Just test drove and it's quiet as a mouse! I forgot how quiet this car is, I thought the noise I was hearing was the tires, nope bad wheel bearing. Strange the test of checking play showed the replacement hub and bearing had much more play than the original I removed. When turning it though you could feel resistance and slight noises on the bad bearing. Good one was quiet and smooth with little resistance.

    That's the part number for the axle nut. If you have to remove yours for any reason get some new ones just in case.
