i just installed my radioshack metal bearings onto my civic, i'm using stock rims, blue suspension in front, and awd kit, after i installed my front bearings, and i put the wheels on, the wheels dont spin freely, something is caught and it's preventing my wheel from spinning, i was wondering if anyone else had problems with this, and how did they solve it? i didnt' install the rear kit yet, but i'm hoping for an answer before i finish the rear

if you have AWD then your front wheels wont spin freely because now they have a differntal there!!!!!!!!!! :roll_eye: :roll_eye: :roll_eye:

i tighten them just as i would without the bearings, and i know they dont spin "freely" with the awd, but now even if i try to spin the wheel by hand, it wont spin, and something is clicking everytime the wheel goes around

yes they are, when i drive the car, the wheels spin fine, but when i try to spin them by hand, i hear a clicking noise and it feels like something is caught

Thats normal. Don't keep trying to turn a wheel by hand. That clicking noise is the teeth skipping in the Front Differential. You may be causing damage to it.
