Wheel Assembly

Front

Rear Wheel Drive

Each front wheel and tire assembly is attached by lug nuts (1012) to its respective front disc brake hub and rotor (1102). Two opposed tapered roller bearings are installed in each front disc brake hub and rotor. A grease retainer is installed at the inner end of the wheel hubs (1104) to prevent lubricant from leaking. The front disc brake hub and rotor is retained on its front wheel spindle (3105) by the adjusting nut, nut lock and cotter pin. Refer to Section 04-01A.

Four-Wheel Drive

A description of the locking hub assemblies used on vehicles equipped with 4-wheel drive is found in Section 04-01B.

Rear

Information on rear wheels (hubs and drums) is found in Group 05. For semi-floating wheel hubs and bearings, refer to the appropriate rear axle section in Group 05. For full-floating wheel hubs and bearings, refer to Section 05-02B or 05-02E.

F-350 and F-Super Duty Commercial Chassis vehicles equipped with dual wheel rear axles have the wheel and tire assembly attached with integral two-piece swiveling lug nuts.
