Front Wheel Hub, Disc, Nut and Bearing CheckS7RS0B2206008
• Inspect each wheel disc for dents, distortion and cracks.
A disc in badly damaged condition must be replaced.
• Check rust of installation face inside of wheel disc.
As rust affects adversely, remove it thoroughly.
• Check wheel nuts for tightness and, as necessary, retighten them to specification.
• Check wheel bolt press-fitted into wheel hub for wear, damage, poor thread condition, and looseness.
Replace defective bolt with a new one.
When bolt installation is found loose, replace both bolt
and wheel hub with new ones.
Tightening torque
Wheel nut: 85 N·m (8.5 kgf-m, 61.5 lb-ft)

figure.
Front wheel bearing thrust play limit
“a”: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
• Check wheel bearing noise and smooth wheel rotation by rotating wheel in figure.
If defective, replace bearing.
