Looking for a suspension diagram for a mk6 fiesta.
Fitted a new spring to the wifes fiesta yesterday but now the hub is wabling as if the bearting has collaped.
Now im not sure if there should be a washer between the driveshaft and the bearing and that it has fallen off when i had the strut off and that is why the hub wont fully tighten any ideas.

check that the washer is still on the hub nut as they do fall off, if the nut is missing the washer it will cause the cv to move in and out and may cause the abs light to come on as its not picking the triger up propely

Big washer on hub nut is still there. Wasn't sure if there was anything in-between the shaft and the wheel bearing. Never noticed anything falling off. Just feels like the shaft is bottoming out on the back of the bearing and not pulling the bearing in

There is nothing in-between the shaft and hub, how tight are you doing it because it's ment to be torqued up to over 200nm

Ok had a look this morning and there seems to be a dust cover missing from the back of the wheel bearing. There was still a small piece of the cover there which was sandwiched between the shaft and the bearing not allowing the faces to meet correctly. Now my question is the trigger for the abs sensor in the dust cover for the wheel bearing or is it within the bearing itself
