Wheel Bearing: Testing and Inspection

Wheel Bearing End Play Inspection
1. Raise the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
2. Remove the wheel.
3. Install suitable flat washers (A) and wheel nuts, and tighten the nuts to the specified torque value to hold the brake disc securely against the hub.





4. Set up the dial gauge against the hub flange as shown, and measure the bearing end play by moving the brake disc inward and outward.

Bearing end play:
Standard: Front/Rear: 0 - 0.05 mm (0 - 0.002 inch)

5. If the bearing end play is more than the standard, replace the wheel bearing.
