Front Wheel Bearings Give Out If Ungreased The common reason why the front wheel bearings of a motor car give out is because the greasing of them Is neglected. But the expert motorist knows that there Is no excuse for this neglect. The front-wheel caps should be removed re-moved every three to six months in the summer time, depending, of course, on how much the car is being driven. Fill them with soft grease and screw them back into place. It should be remembered in doing this work that the left front cap may have a left thread Instead of a right one. When the caps are removed the condition con-dition and adjustment of the bearings should be noted. If they require adjustment ad-justment or repair the car should be taken to a shop unless the owner feels competent to do the work. In putting the caps back into place extreme care should be used not to cross the threads. This is an error that is easily made, since the threads are very fine and the diameter of the cap relatively large.
