Wheel Bearing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Tools Required: Dial Indicator (J-8001).
  1. Raise and support the vehicle.
    2. NOTE: If you are inspecting the front wheel bearing/hub, support the front of the vehicle by the lower control arms in order to load the lower ball joint.
  2. Mount and secure the J-8001 to a stand.
  3. Ensure that the J-8001 contacts the vertical surface of the wheel as close as possible to the top wheel stud.
  4. Push and pull on the top of the tire.
  5. Inspect the total movement indicated by the J-8001.
  6. If the measurement exceeds 0.005" (0.127 mm), replace the wheel bearing/hub. See HUB & BEARING ASSEMBLY .
