Wheel Bearing: Testing and Inspection
Wheel Bearing Inspection
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
2. NOTE: Make sure the wheel rotates freely and the brake pads are retracted sufficiently to allow movement of the wheel and tire assembly.
Grasp the tire at the top and bottom and move the wheel inward and outward while lifting the weight of the tire from the front wheel bearings. If
movement exists, a new bearing must be installed.
