The service and repair process for four-door spindle requires initial hub cap and wheel cover removal. A level ground measurement should determine the spindle to fender lip distance starting from the hub center point. Spindle service begins with
Wheel Hub removal during which you should detach the brake hose with its bolt and then separate the rear brake anti-lock sensor by removing its bolt when present. Wire mechanics should be used to secure the
Brake Backing Plate until the brake hose remains free from damage. Throw away the bolts along with nuts and flag bolts before taking out both the nut and washer and bushing. A large screwdriver should be used to open the pinch joint when uninstalling the pinch bolt and rear wheel spindle. First install the new wheel spindle then position a new pinch bolt before choosing not to tighten it at this time. Install the bushing by placing its cupped side away from the bushing then slot in the tension strut before adding the new washer and nut which stays loose. Install new flag bolts and washers and nuts into the lower
Control Arms before continuing without tightening the fasteners at any point. Secure the suspension with a jack stand until the wheel fender reaches the same initial measurement then proceed to tighten all the nuts and bolt. Finish the process by lowering the suspension followed by removing the jack stand. The installation process requires a new gasket along with correct positioning of the rear backing plate and new bolts for securing it. Check the
ABS Sensor mounting hole for debris since it will cause false activation before placing the brake anti-lock sensor and tightening its bolt. Complete the installation with the wheel hub and ensure the proper wheel alignment then make proper adjustments if required.
