Wheel Bearing

CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with air suspension, ensure ignition switch is in OFF position before raising vehicle. If ignition is on when vehicle is raised, vehicle automatic height adjustment will operate, resulting in possible damage to vehicle.
  1. Raise and support vehicle. Place one hand on dust shield near axle bearing carrier. Rotate rear wheel by hand. If rotation is smooth and free, wheel bearing is okay.
  2. Remove brake caliper, and suspend it using wire. Match mark axle hub and disc for reassembly reference. Remove brake disc from hub. Measure bearing axial play with dial indicator. Maximum axial play is .002" (.05 mm). Replace hub or bearing if play is excessive.
  3. Measure hub runout. Maximum hub runout is .002" (.05 mm). If bearing play is excessive, replace hub or bearing. If hub runout is excessive, replace hub. See REAR HUB & BEARING ASSEMBLY (RWD MODELS)  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
