- The inner needle bearing requires lubrication. While pre-greased, it is advisable to verify and add high-quality wheel bearing grease during installation.
- Ford's recommended lubrication schedule for the needle bearing is typically every 60,000 miles. This procedure often requires the hub unit bearing to be removed. Consult your vehicle's official service manual for detailed instructions and exact intervals.
- Some users may install a grease fitting into the ABS sensor hole for easier future lubrication. This is an aftermarket modification and should be done with caution and proper knowledge.

- Check for any leaks around the seals.
5. Кыйынчылыктарды
If you experience issues with your axle bearing and hub assembly, consider the following common problems and potential solutions:
| Көйгөй | Мүмкүн себеп | Чечим |
|---|---|---|
| Abnormal noise (humming, grinding) | Worn or damaged bearing, insufficient lubrication. | Inspect the bearing for play. If worn, replacement is necessary. Ensure proper lubrication of the inner needle bearing. |
| Excessive wheel play or looseness | Loose mounting bolts, worn bearing, improper installation. | Check torque of mounting bolts. Re-evaluate installation steps. If bearing is worn, replace the assembly. |
| ABS light illuminated or ABS malfunction | Damaged ABS sensor or wiring, improper sensor connection. | Inspect the ABS sensor and its wiring for damage. Ensure the connector is fully seated. Replace if sensor is faulty. |
| Incorrect lug stud thread pitch | Incorrect part ordered for vehicle. | Verify the correct part number (515020 has M14 x 2.0 studs). Ensure compatibility before installation. |
| Missing seals (axle shaft, spindle hub oil) | These seals are typically sold separately and are not included with the hub assembly. | Purchase necessary seals (e.g., SKF 28600, 710413) separately before beginning installation. |
