FRONT WHEEL FREE PLAY INSPECTION

1. Place chocks at the rear wheels, loosen the front wheel lug nuts and lift the front of the vehicle with a
chain hoist or floor jack. Place jack stands under the outer front frame I-beam of the vehicle and lower
the floor jack or chain hoist so that the vehicle is resting on the jack stands. See Figure 5-2, Section 5,
Page 5-4.
2. Use your hands and attempt to rock the wheel and hub assembly back and forth on the spindle. If there
is any observable movement of the wheel and hub on the spindle, remove dust cap (1) and cotter pin (2)
and then tighten the spindle nut (3) until both bearings (5) fully seat in the bearing cups (7) (Figure 7-31,
Page 7-21).
3. Loosen spindle nut one cotter pin position. If the hub does not turn freely, loosen spindle nut one more
cotter pin position.
4. Install a new cotter pin (2). If movement continues, replace the wheel bearings (5) as required.
5. Finger-tighten the wheel lug nuts, and lower the vehicle. Tighten the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern to
55 ft-lb (74.6 N·m).
