Front Wheel Bearing Adjustment: Adjustment: Notes

NOTE: For removal and installation of front wheel bearings, see the Dana/Spicer Full Floating Axle article in DRIVE AXLE Section.

NOTE: Correct wheel bearing adjustment is very important on vehicles with disc brakes, as too much end play in bearings will cause disc wobble and brake damage.

NOTE: On all vehicles with disc brakes, caliper assembly must be removed before disc and hub, in order to work on wheel bearings. Caliper-to-disc clearance is very critical on these vehicles. It is not necessary to disconnect brake hoses in order to remove caliper assembly. Wire caliper out of the way (do not hang on brake hose).

NOTE: To seat bearings properly, hub must be turning while tightening adjusting nut. If cotter pin holes do not line up, back off nut only enough to insert cotter pin.
