Wheel Bearing Inspection

Wheel Bearing Inspection
1. Raise and support the vehicle.

2. NOTE: Make sure the wheel rotates freely and the brake pads are retracted sufficiently to allow movement of the tire and wheel assembly.

Firmly grasp the 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 is loose on the wheel hub assembly or does not rotate freely, install a new front wheel hub or rear hub as necessary.
