How to remove and reinstall the steering knuckle and wheel hub components on Mazda 3?

To remove the cover of the wheel, loosen the driveaxle/hub nut but not remove it and then loosen the lug nuts of the wheel. Lift the vehicle and place it on jackstands to hold it in place and then take off the wheel and splash shields. The next step is to take off the brake caliper, without disconnecting the brake hose, caliper mounting bracket and caliper disc. Loose the knuckle on the strut body using a hammer, where necessary. To install, position the knuckle and hub assembly strut and at the same time insert the driveaxle into the hub push the strut-to-knuckle pinch bolt to the recommended torque. Attach the balljoint to the knuckle, and screw the pinch bolt/nut to the required torque. Also, screw the tie-rod end to the steering knuckle arm and screw the nut to the requested torque. Install the caliper by fitting the brake disc on the hub. Install the driveaxle/hub nut, screw it in, half-tight. Install lug nuts and wheel and lower the car, ensure the lug nuts are tightened to the required torque. Lastly is to tighten the driveaxle/hub nut to the required torque and put the wheel cover back on, not forgetting to make sure that the front-end alignment has been checked and adjusted accordingly.

Mazda 3 Wheel Hub

Mazda 3 Wheel Hub anchors the wheel to the suspension and allows it to spin freely and thus ensures handling and makes the brakes and steering predictable. The hub is placed between the drive axle and the rear brake rotor and contains hard roller bearings that reduce friction and permit the splines of the axle to transmit torque directly to the rim. This is because there are three primary styles of hubs that have emerged in the small Mazda series over the years. Non-driven axle hubs of the type commonly applied in early Mazda cars are equipped with opposed tapered roller bearings, so that often only the bearing cones need to be replaced once wear has become apparent. With front-wheel-drive designs standard, an integral unit design has replaced them, where the hub, bearing, and typically the ABS sensor are a single, closed part that is pressed together in the factory and, in sacrifice of serviceability, allows faster replacement and better preload control. A few front ones use a semi-serviceable part, with the steering knuckle having to be detached, followed by pressing the bearing and the hub apart and gluing them back together, giving a compromise between the two extremes. Regardless of the version, all Wheel Hubs are based on heavy-duty bolts and studs which connect the assembly to the knuckle and wheel to ensure that the tire is centered and free of vibrations. Noise or play checks on the Wheel Hub can also be applied to detect the existence of bearing fatigue at the initial stage since a failed Wheel Hub may jeopardize the existing safety and ride comfort of any generation Mazda 3.
