INSPECTION

2001-04 Models

1. Check the magnetic encoder after cleaning the encoder. If necessary, replace the front wheel bearing or rear wheel bearing unit, as outlined in the Suspension & Steering Section.
2. Measure the air gap between the wheel sensor and the pulser all the way around while rotating the pulser. The specifications for the front are 0.02-0.04 in. (0.5-1.0mm) and for the rear are 0.01-0.04 in. (0.2-1.0mm). Remove the rear rotor to measure the gap on the rear wheel sensor. If the gap is more than 0.04 in. (1.0mm), check for a bent suspension arm.
   
   NOTE

   Install the wheel bearing with the magnetic encoder (brown color) toward the inside of the knuckle. Remove any oil, grease, dust, or other foreign material from the encoder surface. Keep magnetic tools away from the encoder surface. Be careful not to damage the encoder surface when you insert the wheel bearing.

The wheel bearings are not adjustable.

1. Raise the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
2. Remove the wheels, then reinstall the wheel nuts.
3. Attach the dial gauge. Place the dial gauge against the hub flange.
