HUB / BEARING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HUB AND
BEARING
The condition of the front hub and bearing assem-
bly is diagnosed using the inspection and testing pro-
cedure detailed below.
The bearing contained in the Unit III front hub/
bearing assembly will produce noise and vibration
when worn or damaged. The noise will generally
change when the bearings are loaded. A road test of
the vehicle is normally required to determine the
location of a worn or damaged bearing.
Find a smooth level road surface and bring the vehi-
cle up to a constant speed. When vehicle is at a con-
stant speed, swerve the vehicle back and forth from the
left and to the right. This will load and unload the bear-
ings and change the noise level. When bearing damage
is slight, the noise is sometimes noticeable at lower
speeds and at other times is more noticeable at speeds
above 105 km/h (65 mph).
