Installation Tips and Maintenance
Replacing hub bearings restores steering precision and prevents vibrations. Torque to spec (typically 100-150 ft-lbs), use anti-seize on studs, and break axle nuts with an impact gun. Regular checks every 50,000 miles extend life—listen for humming or play. Pair with fresh grease for longevity.
