Avenger V6-2.7L (2008)
Wheel Bearing: Description and Operation
Rear Hub / Bearing
DESCRIPTION
The rear wheel bearing and wheel mounting hub used on this vehicle are a one-piece sealed unit or hub and bearing assembly. It is permanently
lubricated when assembled and is sealed for life. There is no periodic lubrication or maintenance recommended for these units.
The hub and bearing (5) is mounted to the rear knuckle (8).
All vehicles have a magnetic encoder integrated into the right rear hub and bearing for speed sense. Vehicles equipped with antilock brakes have a
magnetic encoder integrated into both rear hub and bearings. The encoder works with the rear wheel speed sensors to provide wheel speed signal. The
sensor mounts by screw to the rear of the front-wheel-drive hub and bearing while the sensor clips to the rear of the all-wheel-drive hub and bearing.
The only serviceable components of the hub and bearing are the wheel mounting studs pressed into the hub.
