Front wheel bearings adjustable?


Recommended Posts

Hello people.  Long time, no problems with the old GL.

Can I take the play out of front wheel bearings on my '88 GL by tightening the axle nut? Is that what that sleeve inside the hub is for? For the bearing to tighten against?     Bearings were replaced ten years ago..

No, the fronts are not adjustable.  If you have play, and the axle nut is not loose, you need new wheel bearings.  If they only lasted 10 years, they either didn't have enough grease, weren't repacked often enough, or got water in them from bad wheel seals.
