what causes rear wheel rotors to heat up
The rear wheel hub spindle nut (axle) size is 30mm. I just changed my rear wheel hubs today
The hubs lock the axel to the hub, which drives the wheel. With the transfer case in 2WD, the rear driveshaft drives the rear wheels. Without front hubs, in 2WD, as the front tires roll, they spin the axles and the front driveshaft. With lock out hubs, in 2WD and the hubs unlocked only the tires spin. However, in 4WD if you forget to lock the hubs, only the driveshafts and axles spin. When I lived in MI, in the winter I always kept my hubs "locked", this way I could shift into 4WD whenever I needed to without getting out in the cold to "lock" the hubs.
I just replaced the rear brakes on our 02 explorer. If you have 4 wheel disc than the rear "hubs" are rotor hubs and once you remove the callipers you may have to back off on the emergency brake pads by turning the self adjuster. By the way you shouldn't have the e-brake on at all or you can not remove the rear rotor-hubs.
The 1997 Buick Park Avenue has front and rear sealed wheel/hub bearing units. Lower quality front and rear wheel hubs can price at 35-40$, while OE replacement units are around 117$. GM/AC Delco original equipment hubs are around 180-200 each wholesale. Labor to replace individual bolt-in hubs should be no more around 50-75 per wheel. Please note this vehicle has a total of 4 wheel hubs.
Remove spindle, bring to auto mech shop to press apart.
There are speed sensors on the transmission, on the rear axle, and at the front wheel hubs.
Many causes and different for front wheel drive and rear wheel drive cars. It's hard to say without more detailed information.
yes but you will have to chang the rear axle shafts and front hubs or axles if it is 4by4 yes but you will have to chang the rear axle shafts and front hubs or axles if it is 4by4
The rear ABS sensor should be in the gear box (i can't remember the exact term) in your rear end. The front ABS sensors are in your wheel hubs...
Sticky or stuck brake calipers. Sticky or stuck parking brake mechanism.
Bad tire? Bad wheel bearing? Bent wheel? Bent axle?
Driveshaft transfers transmission revolutions to the rear differential (rear end gears then to axles) on rear wheel drive vehicles. Or if front wheel drive, the driveshafts is acually called CV (Constant Velocity) Shafts. It transfers transmission revolutions directly to the front wheels (hubs)
