Start by fitting the shield onto the rear of the hub, then place the hub and bearing into the knuckle until the holes in the shield, knuckle and hub meet up. Fix down the hub and bearing using four bolts and tighten them to 68 Nm (50 ft. lbs.). When putting the hub and bearing on the axle, check that the isolation washer is present and operating as it should, since you can put it on in either direction. Then, place the knuckle over the lower ball joint stud and help the hub and bearing onto the axle half shaft. At first, slide a new nut over the lower ball joint stud and hold it in place. Place the upper ball joint stud into the top knuckle hole and fasten the nut by holding the stud with a hex wrench and turning the nut with a second wrench, also using a crow foot on a torque wrench for 47 Nm more than a 90° twist (equal to 35 ft. lbs. and three full turns). Go over this procedure for the ball joint on the lower control arm and tighten it to 68 Nm plus a 90° turn (50 ft. lbs. plus a 90° turn), too. Move on to insert the outer tie rod stud through the knuckle, secure the nut and tighten it to 85 Nm (63 ft. lbs.) while you hold the stud with a wrench. Now, install the brake rotor, then the disc
Brake Caliper and finally the adapter assembly. First, attach the hub nut at the last part of the axle half shaft and with someone applying the brakes so the hub doesn't move, crank it to a tightness of 213 Nm (157 ft. lbs.). Once you have done this, place the wheel speed sensor head in the knuckle, secure it with a 11 Nm (95 in. lbs.) screw and attach the wheel speed sensor cable routing clip to the knuckle. Put the tire and wheel assembly on the car and tighten the wheel mounting nuts to 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.) for all Dodge models or to 190 Nm (140 ft. lbs.) for Dodge police cars. Let off the jack, sit in the car, press on the brake pedal several times and then start rolling the vehicle. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir, top it up if required and then do a wheel alignment.
