Wheel Bearing: Testing and Inspection
Rear Axle - FWD
Wheel Bearing End Play Check
WHEEL BEARING END PLAY CHECK
1. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the caliper assembly with a wire and remove the brake disk.
2. Check the bearing's end play. Place a dial gauge against the hub surface; then move the hub in the axial direction and check whether or not there is
end play.
Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
3. Replace the rear hub assembly if an adjustment cannot be made to within the limit.
4. After checking, install the brake disk and the caliper assembly, and tighten the caliper mounting bolt to the specified torque.
Rear Hub Rotary-Sliding Resistance Check
REAR HUB ROTARY-SLIDING RESISTANCE CHECK
1. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the caliper assembly with a wire and remove the brake disk.
2. Turn the hub a few times to seat the bearing.
3. Wind a rope around the hub bolt and turn the hub by pulling at a 90 degree angle with a spring balance. Measure to determine whether or not the
rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub is at the limit value.
Limit: 19.2 N (4.32 lb)
4. Replace the rear hub assembly if the rotary-sliding resistance cannot be made to within the limit.
5. After having finished the inspection, install the brake disk, caliper assembly and tighten the caliper assembly mounting bolts to the specified
torque.
