Front

Wheel Assembly

Wheel Assembly:

Each front wheel is bolted to a hub assembly.

There are two opposed tapered roller bearings (inner and outer) with grease retainer seals (inner and outer), encased in one single cup or cartridge.

This bearing assembly is pressed into the steering knuckle bore from the inboard side until it rests against the shoulder on the outboard side.

A snap ring is installed in a groove on the inboard side of the knuckle bore for added bearing retention. A bearing dust seal is installed on the constant velocity (CV) joint, inboard of the knuckle/bearing/hub assembly.

The hub assembly is pressed into the bearing/knuckle assembly.

The CV joint splined shaft is pressed through the hub.

A prevailing torque hub nut and washer retain the hub assembly to the CV joint.
