Wheel Bearing: Testing and Inspection
Wheel Bearing Inspection
1. Raise the vehicle until the tire is off the floor.
2. NOTE: Make sure the wheel rotates freely and the brake pads are retracted sufficiently to allow movement of the tire and wheel assembly.
Grasp each tire at the top and bottom and move the wheel inward and outward while lifting the weight of the tire off the wheel bearing.
3. If the tire and wheel (hub) is loose on the wheel spindle or does not rotate freely, install a new front wheel hub as necessary.
