Getting Started with Moog Wheel Bearings

Replacing wheel bearings on your vehicle is a crucial task that requires precision and care. Here's a step-by-step approach to ensure a successful installation:

Gather Necessary Tools: Before starting, ensure you have all the necessary tools, including a jack, jack stands, wheel chocks, and appropriate sockets and wrenches.

Safety First: Park your vehicle on a flat, stable surface. Engage the parking brake and place wheel chocks behind the wheels opposite the one you'll be working on.

Raise the Vehicle: Securely lift the vehicle using the jack and place jack stands for added stability.

Remove the Wheel: Loosen the lug nuts and remove the tire to access the wheel bearing assembly.

Extract the Old Bearing: Using the appropriate tools, carefully extract the old bearing from the hub.

Inspect and Replace: Inspect the bearing and hub for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the hub thoroughly and install the new Moog wheel bearing.

Securely Tighten: Grease the bearing and tighten the hub nut according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Reinstall the Wheel: Mount the tire back onto the hub and tighten the lug nuts to the recommended torque.

Lower the Vehicle: Carefully lower the vehicle back to the ground and remove the jack stands.

Advanced Features: Enhancing Performance

Moog wheel bearings are equipped with advanced features that further enhance their performance and durability:

Advanced Sealing: Advanced sealing technology prevents moisture, dirt, and contaminants from entering the bearing, ensuring extended lifespan.
