Hub Bearing Preload: Checking

  1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel assembly. Clamp dial indicator mount to hub carrier. Ensure dial indicator pointer contacts hub flange.
  2. Using 2 levers between hub and hub carrier, press hub outward. Note reading on dial indicator. The difference between dial indicator readings is preload of hub bearing. Bearing preload should be .001-.003 in. For adjustment, see HUB CARRIER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
