Inspection (Legacy & SVX )
- With rear of vehicle raised, move top and bottom of tire in and out to check bearing free play. Remove rear wheel. If bearing free play exists, attach a dial indicator to wheel hub. Measure axial hub play by pulling hub straight out.
- Axial play should be no more than .002" (.05 mm). Turn hub back and forth to check for noise or binding. If axial play is excessive or if bearings are noisy or binding, disassemble hub assembly and check condition of bearings and seals.
