DJ.6 - REAR WHEEL BEARINGS
The hub bearing unit, which is common to all four wheels, is fixed to the hub carrier by 4 hex. head bolts,
and incorporates a double row ball bearing with the inner race of the outboard bearing formed directly in the hub
forging, and the inner race of the inboard bearing retained by a swaging operation on the hub flange. Inboard
and outboard grease seals are included in the assembly, with a 48 pole vehicle speed sensor ring integrated
into the inboard seal, whose signal is picked up by a sensor mounted in the rear of the hub carrier.
If there is found to be any discernible free play in the hub bearing, or any roughness, or if tight spots can
be felt, or any untoward noise heard, or any signs of lubricant expulsion are evident, the hub assembly should
be replaced - there is no provision for adjustment or replacement of the bearings.
