The wheel hub assembly does not require maintenance. If any of the following symptoms are noted,
replace the wheel hub assembly.
• Growling noise is emitted from the wheel hub bearing during operation.
• Wheel hub bearing drags or turns roughly.
Ball Joint Inspection
Check boots of transverse link and steering outer socket ball joint for breakage, axial play, and torque. Refer to
FSU-15, "
Removal and Installation" transverse link and PS-15, "Disassembly and Assembly" steering outer
socket ball joint.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. Note the following:
• Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing wheel hub and bearing assembly and steering knuckl e. Check the wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, "

• Move joint up/down, left/right, and in axial direction. Check for any rough movement or significant looseness.
• Check boot for cracks or other damage, and for grease leakage.
• If damaged, disassemble drive shaft to verify damage, and repair or replace as necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Note the following:
• Tighten to specifications.CAUTION:
