Rear hub bearing question

[MellowVR4]

So, about a month ago I replaced my driver side rear wheel bearings ( they were growling pretty bad ). While I was in their I removed the abs ring on the one side since, now when I take off I have a slight vibration on that one side... Would removing the abs ring cause a balance issue to happen?

Any help would be great, thanks.

Doesn't that ring just slip on? Can't see that cause a vibration, I'd look elsewhere.

Did you torque your wheel?

Abs ring removal won't cause that issue.

Did you reuse the correct shoulder bolts for the axle cups? Very important to use those in that type of load application.

I reused the hardware for the cups, I did not torque my wheel tho.

Unless my caliper is sticking, it really only happens when I get on it. fades away tho.

Quoting MellowVR4:

Really? Start there, I bet your wheel isn't fully seated.

I will do that and report back. Thanks
