Exclamation wheel bearing problems

First of all Hello!
excuse my username i just need some advise

Ive fitted a front wheel bearing to my g/f's saxo after noticing the wheel wobbled when i checked it, its done this since we got the car
anyway... ive fitted the new bearing and its just the same!! not happy

the bearing is fully pressed in and torqued up to 250nm like it says in autodata.

however i have noticed the splined part of the outer cv doesnt put any pressure on the actual bearing when it is tightened and the shaft appears to be off a salvage car (white writing on it)

Please help me, its been a long pissed off night!

you're saying the shaft seems to be from a scrappy, so the shaft could be the problem. some shafts are different ie saxos with abs and ones without abs had slightly different driveshafts iirc.

maybe your hub, my wheel bareing went and i took it to my pal he says i need a whole hub, when the bareing is knackered it wears inti the bit it sits in...on mine the plate where u secure the brake discs wobbles like a plate on a pin, could hear it grindin as soon as you moved...got a new hub on and its fine and dandy now

Yeah it could possibly be your hub. If it's done it since you bought it chances are the hub has been damaged as well

Seanvtr81 is right, it could also be the driveshaft. I've just replaced the wheel bearing on my car but it is now off the road again after only 400miles because the wheel is wobbling again. Turned out when I replaced the driveshaft when my CV boot went the company I ordered it off catalogued the part wrong so I have the wrong shaft. Mark one and Mark two driveshafts are different sizes
