Disregard my amazon link if you car is FWD. I thought all Canadian Kizashies were AWD.

A lot of do-it-yourselfers over torque bearings. If you look at the specs on a lot of cars, they are in inch/lbs. Basically not much more than finger tight. (after the inital torque to set them) I used to go through rear bearings like crazy on an old Dodge mini van I used to have. I way over-torqued them everytime because I never looked at the spec. So if you're going to do the bearings yourself, make sure you check the spec.

And this is also an easy way to snap the bolts holding on the valve cover as most of these are also in inch/lbs.

When I was skimming through the factory service manual yesterday, I noticed a lot of low torque values. Watch the muscle!

My kizashi is at 70,000km and I have exactly the same symptoms. The noise comes from the rear mainly at 60km/h and 110km/h

is it normal for the bearings to go with such little kms?
