Wheel Bearings

  1. To obtain correct front wheel bearing preload, tighten wheel bearing to 152 ft. lbs. (206 N.m). No further adjustment is required.
  2. To check wheel bearing(s) for excessive wear, raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel. On 2WD models, remove hub center cap. On 4WD models, remove free-wheeling hub. See FREE-WHEELING HUB (4WD) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION .
  3. Mount a dial indicator to rotor and to hub center shaft. Push in and pull out on rotor. Note indicator reading. If movement exceeds .002" (.05 mm), replace bearing.
