Wheel Bearings

2000 XK8 - Suspension,Front






During use, a small amount of surplus grease may appear around the bearing seal, this does not indicate a failed bearing or seal. The grease should not be removed as this will act as an additional barrier to the ingress of water or foreign matter.

Excessive end float or bearing rumble will indicate a failed bearing; for maximum permissible end float see specification. Take care not to confuse suspension ball joint or upper or lower fulcrum bush movement for bearing end float.

If the hub is removed for any reason, a new bearing assembly must be installed. Never attempt to re-use a bearing.
