Symptoms

A hum or grinding that rises with road speed, vibration through the wheel, or an ABS light.

The fix, step by step

  1. The Y62's front bearing comes as a hub assembly with the bearing pre-greased and the ABS speed sensor attached.
  2. Patrolapart's unit fits either side.
  3. Remove the wheel, caliper and rotor and the axle nut, unplug the ABS sensor, unbolt the hub from the knuckle and fit the new assembly.
  4. Torque the hub bolts and axle nut to the manual.
