Wheel Hub: Testing and Inspection
Component Tests
REAR HUB ROTARY-SLIDING RESISTANCE CHECK
1. For vehicles with rear disc brakes, remove the caliper assembly, suspend the caliper assembly with a wire and remove the brake disc.
2. For vehicles with rear drum brakes, remove the brake drum.
3. After turning the hub a few times to seat the bearing, wind a rope around the hub bolt and turn the hub by pulling at a 90 degree angle with a
spring scale. Measure to determine whether or not the rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub is at the limit value.
Limit: 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.)
4. If the rotary-sliding resistance exceeds the limit value, replace the rear hub assembly.
