Wheel Bearing Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 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. For additional information, refer to JACKING AND 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.
  3. 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. For additional information, refer to FRONT SUSPENSION - 4X2 , FRONT SUSPENSION - 4X4 or REAR SUSPENSION .
