How to Replace Camaro Axle Bearings

The axle bearings on a Camaro play a primary role in how the vehicle moves. They enable the wheel to move freely during travel. Over time these parts will begin to become worn and can break, requiring replacement. An indication that the axle bearings need to be replaced is if you can hear a thumping noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. If this problem occurs, then you need to replace the bearings immediately. If left untreated, this can cause serious steering issues for the vehicle. You can save money by replacing the axle bearings yourself.

Instructions

1

Lift the vehicle with a car jack to access the wheels. Use an impact wrench to remove the lug nuts from the wheel then pull it off the Camaro.

2

Use an Allen wrench to remove the brake calipers from the brake discs. Hit the drum brake gently with a hammer until it loosens. Remove both the brake calipers and the drum.

3

Take the axle out of its casing by removing the four axle nuts with a socket wrench.

4

Remove the old bearings, taking note of their positions. Insert the new bearings. Use the old bearings to gently tap the new ones into their proper positions.

5

Reattach the axle to its casing. Securely fasten the bolts in place. Mount the brake calipers and drum brakes firmly back onto the vehicle.

6

Remount the wheel onto the Camaro and attach the lug nuts. Repeat the process on all four wheels. Once complete, test the vehicle in a quiet area to ensure the new bearings are fitted correctly.
