Ok, ive just had a new hub fitted to my polo due to the bolts shearing off in the old one.

Whenever i drive between 1-45mph i get a high pitched squeal coming from the wheel.

It dosnt change when i corner, or apply brakes, however it does get quieter the faster i go.

I have also felt my alloys after a drive and that hub feels ALOT hotter than the other ones :S

Any ideas peeps?

Bearing is too loose or tight - I reckon tight.
