I just got done driving home from dinner and my back left tire was smoking. The screeching sound is also horrible, also my speedometer is fluctuating my speeds randomly now too. My abs light is on now. My brake pedal is also clicking as I put more pressure to slow down. I recently changed the wheel bearing and tighten the pinon gear about 2 months ago. I'm not sure what's wrong. I never had this problem.

 

*UPDATE*..The steering wheel is now harder to turn.

 

Check the rear brakes and that wheel bearing again, the piston in the caliper can fall out if the pads wear too low

 

I would say the wheel bearing has let loose, since the ABS light is on ant the speedometer is fluctuating.

 

Thank for the replies..I've checked it out it happens to be the wheel bearing. The grease was leaking out and that caused smoke. How do I properly install a xj6 wheel bearing? I bought the inner and outer bearing and packed in it tight. Is it to tight? Also what is the torque spec for the axle nut? Hope everyone is having a good safe Super Bowl.

 

I called Bacchus repair shop located Dublin/Oakland..they said I have to buy a new axle nut everytime I take it off. That what causes the problems.
