We tow our 05 MCSa behind a motorhome, front wheels on a tow dolly.
Which puts more pressure AND miles on the rear bearings.

Are the rear wheel bearings sealed or can they be serviced?
I would MUCH rather do a little preventative maintenance than call a tow truck in the middle of Wyoming or Arizona, etc.

Thanks

Haynes shows no service procedure, and say they are non-adjustable; "wheel bearings are integral with the hub and not available separately. Now someone is going to tell you next how you can rebuild a hub but recommended procedure is if worn you replace the hub. Once the brake assembly is out of the way, you remove the wheel speed sensor and 4 bolts hold the hub in place. Very straight forward.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

I was afraid they were non-serviceable.

I did a search and didn’t find much about the rear bearings, seems to SOME early failures with the front.

I have an infrared thermometer. I’ll just keep checking ALL (8) tires and bearings every time we stop.

Thanks
Again

They can't be serviced, but we don't see them fail very often, even on the race cars the live.
