Front

DESCRIPTION






The front wheel bearing and front wheel hub of this vehicle are a hub and bearing unit type assembly. This unit combines the front wheel mounting hub (flange) and the front wheel bearing into a sealed one piece unit. The hub and bearing is mounted to the center of the steering knuckle and is retained by three mounting bolts accessible from the rear of the steering knuckle. The hub flange has five wheel mounting studs.
The wheel mounting studs used to mount the tire and wheel to the vehicle are the only replaceable components of the hub and bearing assembly. Otherwise, the hub and bearing is serviced only as a complete assembly.

OPERATION
The hub and bearing has internal bearings that allow the hub to rotate with the driveshaft and tire and wheel. The five wheel mounting studs mount the tire and wheel, and brake rotor to the vehicle.
