Front Hub Assembly: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Clean the contact surfaces and install the brake shield and the hub with 3 bolts. Make sure that the cable to the wheel sensor fits into position upwards/forwards. Tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  2. Insert the drive shaft into the hub.
    NOTE: Always install a NEW hub driveshaft nut if it has been removed because the clamping force of the lock indentations will be reduced if the old one is reinstalled.
  3. Install the front hub assembly nut and pull the shaft to the correct position with the nut.
    NOTE: Check that the spindle on the ball joint protrudes above the steering knuckle attachment.

  5. Clean the brake disc surfaces thoroughly. Install the brake rotor. See FRONT BRAKE ROTOR .
