Quick leak/maintenance signs
These are the classic indicators that service is due:
- Grease leaking near the inside of front wheels
- Grease sprayed on the wheel/tire
- Clicking/binding that changes with steering angle
- Visible torn wipers/seals around the knuckle
What a typical service includes
A proper service usually covers:
- Knuckle seals/wipers and gaskets
- Wheel bearings (inspect/replace as needed)
- Inspection of birfields/CVs for wear
- Fresh grease and correct assembly/torque
Why it matters
Leaks lead to contamination and wear. Fixing early saves money and mess.
- Keeps grease in and debris out
- Protects bearings and expensive components
- Improves steering feel and reduces failures
