Wheel Bearings, Rear

Some on the list said that if there is any play in the rear wheel bearings that they must be
replaced, as there is no provision for adjustment -

There is no provision for adjustment, but if there is any play, you certainly should try torquing
the bearings to the proper figure, rather than replacing them.

This retorquing can be done by removing the center cap, putting the trans in reverse, and
tightening the nut to 322 lb/ft. This will require a 3/4" drive torque wrench. Since this will take
only five minutes, you probably can talk your 928 tech into doing it for free - if you have a very
friendly working relationship!
