Checking the axial clearance of the rear wheel bearing (Hyundai Accent X3)

1. Jack up the car. While the car is on the floor jack, check the bearing clearance.

2. If there is a gap, remove the hub cap and then release the parking brake.

3. Remove the caliper and brake disc.

4. Check the axial clearance of the bearing. Place a dial indicator against the surface of the hub, then move the hub axially and check if there is clearance.

• Limit value is 0.01 or less

5. If the axial clearance exceeds the limit value, tighten the rear wheel bearing nut to the required torque and check the axial clearance again.

6. If it is impossible to adjust within the required limit, the rear hub bearing should be replaced.
