Wheel Bearing Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Mountaineer and 2004 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Raise the vehicle until the tires are off of the ground. Refer to JACKING & LIFTING
    2. NOTE: Make sure the wheel rotates freely and the brake pads are retracted sufficiently to allow movement of the wheel and tire assembly.
  2. Grasp the tire at the top and bottom and move the wheel inward and outward while lifting the weight of the tire from the front wheel bearings. If movement exists, a new bearing must be installed. Refer to WHEEL BEARING, HUB, KNUCKLE, UPPER ARM AND LOWER ARM - FRONT  or WHEEL BEARING, HUB, KNUCKLE, UPPER ARM AND LOWER ARM - REAR .
