Wheel Hub: Testing and Inspection

REAR HUB ROTARY-SLIDING RESISTANCE CHECK [VEHICLES WITH DRUM BRAKED
1. Remove the brake drum.





2. After turning the hub a few times to seat the bearing, wind a rope around the hub bolt and turn the hub by pulling at a 90 degree angle with a spring balance. Measure to determine whether or not the rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub is at the limit value.
Limit:
22 N (4.9 pounds) [LL, L]
19 N (4.3 pounds) [M, SPORT]
3. If limit value is exceeded, loosen the self-locking nut and then tighten it to the specified torque 175 ± 25 Nm (130 ± 18 ft. lbs.) and check the rear hub rotary sliding resistance again.
4. Replace the rear hub assembly if an adjustment cannot be made to within the limit.

REAR HUB ROTARY-SLIDING RESISTANCE CHECK[VEHICLES WITH DISC BRAKE]
1. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the caliper assembly with a wire and remove the brake disc.





2. After turning the hub a few times to seat the bearing, wind a rope around the hub bolt and turn the hub by pulling at a 90 degree angle with a spring balance. Measure to determine whether or not the rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub is at the limit value.
Limit: 19 N (4.3 pounds)
3. If limit value is exceeded, loosen the self-locking nut and then tighten it to the specified torque 175 ± 25 Nm (130 ± 18 ft. lbs.) and check the rear hub rotary sliding resistance again.
4. Replace the rear hub assembly if an adjustment cannot be made to within the limit.
