Rear Hub Rotary-Sliding Resistance Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the caliper assembly and the brake disc. Retain the caliper assembly with a wire and the like to prevent from falling.
- Turn the hub a few times to seat the bearing.
- Wind a rope around the hub bolt and turn the hub by pulling at a 90 degree angle with a spring balance. Measure to determine whether or not the rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub is at the limit.
Limit: 24.5 N (5.51 pounds)
- Replace the rear hub assembly if the rotary-sliding resistance cannot be made to within the limit.
- After having finished the inspection, install the brake disc, caliper assembly and tighten the caliper assembly mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 58 ± 7 N.m (43 ± 5 ft-lb)
