2006 Toyota Highlander Wheel Hub Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front Wheel Hub on 2006 Toyota Highlander?

  A: Begin service and repair of the front wheel hub with a dial indicator check for looseness at its center point near the bearing as per measurement surface alignment at right angles; if looseness measures beyond 0 mm (0 inch) replace the bearing. The surface of the wheel hub outside the hub bolt requires runout measurement and you must replace the wheel hub when the measurement surpasses 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch). The first step for removal is to detach the front wheel followed by using Special Service Tool 09930-00010 with a hammer to unstake the lock nut when brakes are applied. Following bolt removal and disconnecting the speed sensor wire with flexible hose from the shock absorber alongside the speed sensor separation from the steering knuckle completes the procedure. First extract the two bolts that secure the front disc brake caliper assembly LH and afterward delete the front disc. First remove the bolt and two nuts which hold the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH. Separating the tie rod end sub-assembly LH requires Special Service Tool: 09628-62011. Separate the drivetrain elements by marking both drive shaft and wheel hub and striking them apart with a plastic hammer before you remove two bolts and wheel hub fasteners. Proceed by removing the steering knuckle component along with its hub. The first step for disassembly requires the use of Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to separate the lower ball joint assembly front LH. Next, use a screwdriver to remove the front wheel bearing dust deflector No.1 LH before using snap ring pliers on the front wheel hub LH hole snap ring. The removal process starts with using Special Service Tools: 09520-00031, 09950-00020, 09950-60010 (09951-00430), 09950-70010 (09951-07100) to eliminate the front wheel hub sub-assembly LH before proceeding to extract the disc brake dust cover front LH with a torx wrench (T30). Install the inner (outside) race of the bearing onto the hub and engage Special Service Tools: 09527-17011, 09950-60020, 09950-70010 to begin pressing while positioning the steering knuckle horizontally. Reassemble the front wheel hub LH bearing through the use of Special Service Tools: 09608-32010, 09950-60020 (09951-00810), 09950-70010 (09951-07100) and a press and install the disc brake dust cover front LH by tightening it with torx wrench (T30). Use the following Special Service Tools to install the front wheel hub sub-assembly LH before setting the front wheel hub LH hole snap ring using snap ring pliers and installing the front wheel bearing dust deflector No.1 LH with Special Service Tool: 09316-60011 (09316-00011, 09316-00031), 09608-32010 and a hammer according to which the ABS speed sensor holes should align with the steering knuckle. Place the lower ball joint assembly front LH before tightening its nut to 123 Nm (1,250 kgf-cm, 90 ft. lbs.) using a new cotter pin. The drive shaft assembly LH needs to be installed to the front wheel assembly LH with matched alignment using 2 bolts and nuts at 230 Nm (2,345 kgf-cm, 170 ft. lbs.) torque to the shock absorber. The assembly process begins with jointing the suspension arm to the ball joint by means of two bolts and nuts before securing the tie rod end to the steering knuckle through a 49Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.) torque while using a new cotter pin. Attach the front disc brake caliper assembly LH along with the front disc by using 2 bolts which require torque application at 107 Nm (1,090 kgf-cm, 79 ft. lbs.). The front wheel hub LH nut should get installed while the front disc brake caliper assembly LH and front disc get reinstalled together with the speed sensor front LH. The sensor wire and flexible hose must be secured to the shock absorber at 19 Nm (192 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.) while the speed sensor requires attachment to the steering knuckle at 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 inch lbs.). Seal the front wheel by tightening it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) while performing front wheel alignment inspection and testing ABS speed sensor signal.
