when you tighten it up.. dont go FT, just untill its against the bearing, then nip it up. doesnt need to be mega tight as the split pin holds the nut in place

as above mate ^
my fethers just had problems with his 1.4 8v Citroen xzara. had a new gear box, b.new clutch kit, c.v boot and both front wheel bearings and has the same problems at the front. gearbox was out a 306 but we're sure they the same though.
let me know if you find out what it is, deffo sounds like bearings in to tight or something along the lines of that

fitted one to mine last week. just thought i remebered posting in here. Did you pack the rollers with grease? i know you said you used 1 and a half packets but you need to make sure its really stuffed right into the rollers and the race's need to be all the way home. couldve burnt out
