Wheel Bearing Adjustment
For reliable operation and adequate service
life, the wheel bearings must be properly
adjusted and checked during the service pe-
riod. Loose wheel bearings could cause
premature tire wear and possibly affect ve-
hicle handling. See your Volvo Truck
dealer for proper servicing.
Watch carefully for oil leaks and listen for
unusual noises. These are indications of
worn bearings, bad seals or misadjusted
bearings. These are problems which must
be corrected as soon as possible.
Failure to keep wheel bearings properly
adjusted may result in accelerated tire
wear, poor handling and, in extreme
cases, wheel separation from the hub or
from the spindle.
It is important that wheel bearings are
checked and adjusted regularly. Failure
to properly maintain these bearings can
ultimately result in loss of vehicle con-
trol and cause serious personal injury or
death.
