Proper adjustment of wheel bearings is a prerequisite to front end alignment. Additionally, too much play on vehicles with disc brakes can cause disc wobble and brake damage.

NOTE: On all cars with disc brakes, caliper assembly must be removed before disc and hub in order to work on wheel bearings. Caliper-to-disc clearance is very critical on some cars. Be sure to observe all cautions. It is not necessary to disconnect brake lines to remove caliper assembly. Wire caliper assembly up out of way, but do not hang from brake line.
