How to Change the Hub Bearings in a 1998 Dodge Stratus

Hub bearings are an important part of a 1998 Dodge Stratus as they play a large role in the steering of the vehicle. If you hear a grinding noise coming from any of the wheels on your vehicle, you should look to replace the bearings immediately. The process is simple and can be carried out from your garage.

Instructions

1

Engage the parking brake on the 1998 Dodge Stratus. Raise the vehicle with the car jack. Support the jack with the car stands.

2

Loosen and remove the lug nuts on the wheel with the socket wrench. Lift the wheel from the vehicle and place it in a secure area.

3

Remove the safety bolts attaching the brake calipers to the brake casing with a wrench. Caully remove the inner and outer bearings, marking their previous positions.

4

Insert the new bearings into the hub. Align them correctly in position of the old bearings before inserting them. Use the old bearings or a wooden mallet to caully fix the bearings into place.

5

Reattach the brake caliper to the brake casing. Secure the wheel back into place, fastening the lug nut with the socket wrench. Repeat the process on all four wheels. Test the Stratus on a quiet road to ensure that the bearings are fitted correctly.
