Bearings Inspection



Bearings Inspection
Carefully and thoroughly inspect all drive unit parts before assembly. Thorough inspection of the drive parts for wear or stress with subsequent replacement of worn parts eliminates costly drive component repair after assembly.

^ Important:
The differential bearings and the bearing cups are matched sets. Replace both the bearing and the cup when either part requires replacement.

Lubricate the bearings with axle lubricant. Inspect the bearings for smooth rotation.
^ Inspect the bearing rollers for wear.
^ Inspect the bearing cups for wear, cracks, brinelling, and scoring.
