Check Rear Wheel Bearings
Note: For further information, refer to Service Information,
Group 7 and “Hubs” page 21.
DANGER
Failure to keep wheel bearings properly adjusted can
result in accelerated tire wear, poor handling and,
in extreme cases, wheel separation from the hub or
from the spindle resulting in loss of vehicle control and
serious personal injury or death.
Note: Avoid mixing Synthetic and petroleum lubricants in
the same component.
The wheel hubs are lubricated with several types of oil. It
is acceptable to use either synthetic or petroleum based
oils (synthetic oils are not recommended for Volvo Axles).
Hubs are generally oil-lubricated. There are no set oil
change intervals. Change oil when the hub is removed for
repairs or other routine maintenance.
