Passport LX 2WD V6-3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1997)
BEARINGS
-
Bearings visually and by feel.
-
The bearings should feel smooth when oiled and rotated while applying as much hand pressure as possible.
-
The large end of the bearing rollers for wear.
-
This is where tapered roller bearing wear is most evident.
-
Bearing cups for wear, cracks, brinelling and scoring.
-
Bearings and cups are only replaced as sets.
-
If the rear axle was operated for an extended period of time with very loose bearings, the ring gear and drive pinion will also require replacement.
-
Low mileage bearings may have minute scratches and pits on the rollers and the bearing cups from the initial pre-load. Do not replace a bearing for
this reason. Bearing cups for cracks or chips.
SHIMS
Shims for cracks and chips. Damaged shims should be replaced with an equally sized service shim.
