Front bearing preload basics
Front Dana 60 hubs use two bearings that must be set to the right preload so the hub turns freely with little play. Too tight and the bearings heat up and wear quickly; too loose and the wheel wobbles and the brake pads wear unevenly. Setting preload is a job that rewards patience and a careful service manual procedure.
Before fitting new bearings, inspect the spindle, races and hub bore for scoring or pitting. Clean out the old grease and pack the new bearings with fresh grease. Replace the seal at the same time, since a damaged seal lets water and dirt reach the new bearings quickly.
