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.
