Subject: Re: How do you tell if a wheel bearing is bad? by bogus on 2009/2/23 15:46:58 A few other points... 1. At 143k, don't be surprised if you have a siezed ujoint. 2. The stub axle rusts a bit within the bearing. That will also make it make noise. Whenever you do the bearing, hit the axle with a steel brush and then coat with antisieze. 3. If you replace the rear bearings, be ready to torque the stub axle bolt... I mean TORQUE that sucker!!! 200 ft lbs is the updated torque rating. I am not looking forward to that one... yuck. I am going to get a pipe for my torque wrench, so I can leverage better. 4. I reiterate the importance of the bushings. The rubber hardens and they just don't do the job anymore... it's bad... real bad... |
