It's important to follow these torque specifications when replacing or servicing the hub bearing to ensure proper installation and performance of the vehicle. Exceeding the recommended torque may cause damage to the hub bearing or other components, while insufficient torque may result in the hub bearing loosening and failing prematurely.
In addition to the torque specifications, it's also crucial to use the correct tools and techniques when servicing the hub bearing. This may include using an impact wrench or torque wrench with a deep well socket, and ensuring that the bearing is properly seated and aligned before tightening the bolts or nuts.
If you're not confident in performing this repair yourself, it's best to consult a qualified mechanic or refer to the vehicle repair manual for specific instructions and guidance for your particular model and year of Malibu.
