Rear Wheel Bearing Adjustment
AMC/Jeep Rear Axle
The wheel bearings used in Cherokee, Wagoneer and
J-10 Truck models do not require adjustment. The shafts
used in these axle models are equipped with tapered
roller bearings which are capable of accepting lateral
thrust in either direction. However, the tapered axle
shafts used in CJ and Scrambler models (AMC/Jeep
axle) do require correct axle shaft end play to maintain
proper bearing operating clearances. Refer to Chapter
2F—Axles for end play measurement and adjustment
procedures.
Model 60 Full-Floating Rear Axle
