2006 Lincoln Navigator Wheel Bearing Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What steps should be taken before beginning the wheel bearing and wheel hub service to ensure safety and proper installation on 2006 Lincoln Navigator?

  A: The service of wheel bearings and wheel hubs must start with disabling power to the air suspension system by using the air suspension switch in the LH rear quarter trim to reduce the risk of accidental air spring pressure changes that can shift vehicle position and harm technicians. The performance of essential systems relies heavily on Suspension fasteners so implement new components using identical part numbers and follow reassembly torque values to achieve secure locking of these parts. Begin by setting the air suspension switch to OFF if present and transition the vehicle into NEUTRAL mode while fastening it on a hoist. An assistant should apply pressure to the brake pedal before the technician removes the rear halfshaft nut and washer then tightens the replacement nut to 300 Nm (221 ft. lbs.). A suitable hub puller unwinds the outboard CV Joint from the wheel hub while mechanics wire should support the caliper after removing caliper bolts during reassembly with a bolt torque of 190 Nm (140 ft. lbs.). To proceed, disconnect the electronic connector of the wheel speed sensor and uptake the harness while tightening its bolt to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.) when reattaching it. Before installation bolt the new wheel bearing hub assembly with four bolts using torque of 185 Nm (136 ft. lbs.) while discarding the old assembly with the speed sensor and wheel speed sensor bolt. You should detach both the wheel sensor bolt and the sensor from the wheel bearing and hub assembly during installation while tightening new sensor bolts to 15 Nm (13 ft. lbs.). The installation process ends with executing the opposite steps from removal.
