Wheel Bearing: Description and Operation
Front
HUB / BEARING - FRONT
DESCRIPTION
The bearing used on the front hub of this vehicle is the combined hub and bearing unit type assembly. This unit combines the front wheel mounting
hub (flange) and the front wheel bearing into a one piece unit. The hub and bearing assembly is mounted to the steering knuckle and is retained by
three mounting bolts accessible from the back of the steering knuckle. The hub and bearing unit is not serviceable and must be replaced as an
assembly if the bearing or the hub is determined to be defective. The wheel mounting studs used to mount the tire and wheel to the vehicle are the only
replaceable components of the hub and bearing assembly.
OPERATION
The hub and bearing has internal bearings that allow the hub to rotate with the driveshaft and tire and wheel.
