33–06 Steer Axle Hub Cap Vent
Plug Inspection
General Information
As a function of their design, hubcap vent plugs will
on occasion exhibit signs of hub oil on their exterior
surface. Depending on environmental conditions
and/or age of the plug, the amount of oil present can
vary. This is a normal result of the venting process
due to pressure increase within the hub cavity. For
an example of normal vent plug appearance, see
A vent plug can wear or be damaged and cause ex-
cessive leakage, or allow water to enter the hub and
contaminate the oil. For examples of a leaking vent
plug, see
and
. Evidence of a leaking
vent plug may appear as;
•
Oil splatter around the wheel
•
Gooey/gummy oil around the vent plug purge
point
•
Hub/plug area is dirty, and water contaminated
oil in the hub.
•
Hub/plug area is clean, but there is water con-
taminated oil in the hub. (pressure washing is
the most likely cause)
Inspection
NOTICE
Only remove vent plugs by hand. They can be
damaged if a tool is used. Wipe the hub/plug area
