Hey all, changing the front hub some time today and unable to find any torque specs. It’s a 2013 RWD, it has the three bolts not an axle nut. TYIA!!!

I think they changed to the three bolt design in 2013.

Welp, that didn’t fix the noise. I mean the hub was bad but still sounds like a belt squeal. My ex gfs dad is a mechanic and he thought it was the hub. He changed the water pump and new belt few months ago. Still have a noise though

I have a '12 and it has the older spindle style with the single giant retaining nut. I knew they switched it up during the 13-14 run I just didn't know what year lol.

How'd the rest of the surrounding suspension look/feel? Brakes?

All front end components less then two yrs old. Terry thinks it may be my wheels and/or tires so we swapped new wheels on and well see in a minute.

Wasn’t the tires and wheels. Put chassis ears on and found to be the rear hub. So I’ll get that part and replace it. Anyone ever remove a rear hub and have pics or video?

Yeah....you're gonna have to drop the diff to get the axle out of it. Logically you should be able to just pull the spindle, but the PITA it was to pull and install a rear spindle without an axle or hub in the way leads me to believe it is not really a viable option.

Did you know the torque specs of the axle nut?
