Wheel Bearing: Testing and Inspection

1. Check wheel bearing torque. Torque should measure 137-188 ft. lbs. on 2WD models or 174-231 ft. lbs. on 4WD models.
2. Ensure wheel bearing operates smoothly.
3. Ensure axial play is 0.0020 inch or less.
4. If axial endplay is more than specified or bearing does not operate smoothly, replace wheel bearing assembly.
