Wheel bearing clicking
Replaced the front wheel bearings when I swapped rotors on my 87 4Runner. Set preload per FSM using a spring gauge and now I notice a clicking sound from both front wheels. At first I though it may me the slotted rotors clicking on the pads but the clicking doesn't stop when brakes are applied. It does it going straight or turning, and it's not a CV click. Could I have a little too much preload and need to back the nut off a bit?

I've read where that clicking has happened. T hey put on the old bearings and the clicking went away. So, they bought new bearings from a different manufacture that cost more as well and the noise went away. I used OEM Toyota bearings on my front wheels and rear axle. The cost wasn't much more and the quality is Toyota.
