Wheel Hub: Testing and Inspection
Front
The wheel bearing is designed for the life of the vehicle and requires no type of periodic maintenance. The following procedure may be used for
diagnosing the condition of the wheel bearing and hub.
With the wheel, disc brake caliper, and brake rotor removed, rotate the wheel hub. Any roughness or resistance to rotation may indicate dirt intrusion
or a failed wheel bearing. If the bearing exhibits any of these conditions during diagnosis, the hub/bearing will require replacement. The bearing is not
serviceable.
Damaged bearing seals and the resulting excessive grease loss may also require hub/bearing replacement. Moderate grease weapage from the bearing
is considered normal and should not require replacement of the hub/bearing.
To diagnose a bent hub, refer to BRAKE ROTOR for the procedure on measuring hub runout.
