HUB AND BEARING
DESCRIPTION
The front wheel bearing and wheel hub of this vehicle are a one piece sealed unit or hub and bearing unit type
assembly.
On All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) vehicles, the hub and bear-
ing (1) is mounted to the knuckle using four mounting
bolts and to the axle half shaft using a retaining nut.
The center of the AWD hub and bearing is splined to
match the outer joint of the axle half shaft.
On Rear-Wheel-Drive (RWD) vehicles, the hub and
bearing (1) is mounted to the center of the spindle
using a retaining nut.
All front hub and bearings have five wheel mounting
studs (3) on the hub flange for mounting the wheel to
the vehicle. The wheel mounting studs are the only
replaceable components of the hub and bearing. Oth-
erwise, the hub and bearing is serviced only as a
complete assembly.
On RWD vehicles, a magnetic encoder (2) for the
wheel speed sensor is pressed onto the hub and
bearing. A magnetic encoder is not located on the
AWD hub and bearing. It is pressed onto the axle half
shaft outer joint.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
HUB AND BEARING
NOTE: The hub and bearing is designed for the life of the vehicle and should require no maintenance.
With wheel and brake rotor removed, rotate flanged outer ring of hub. Excessive roughness, lateral play or resis-
tance to rotation may indicate dirt intrusion or bearing failure. If the rear wheel bearings exhibit these conditions
during inspection, the hub and bearing assembly should be replaced.
Damaged bearing seals and resulting excessive grease loss may also require bearing replacement. Moderate
grease loss from bearing is considered normal and should not require replacement of the hub and bearing assem-
bly.
