ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE:
There are two types of Quigley 4x4 Ford solid axle systems. Since 2003 our Quigley Ford 4x4 system solid axle utilizes a sealed non-serviceable hub and bearing assembly. All previous generation Quigley 4x4 Ford systems have a serviceable hub and bearing assembly. There are two simple ways to check which of the hub and bearing assemblies your Quigley vehicle has.
The first is to look at the brake rotor, if the brake rotor is mounted to the outside of the hub assembly, or “easily removable”, then you have a non-serviceable hub and bearing assembly. If the brake rotor is mounted to the inside of the hub assembly, or “not easily removable”, then you have a serviceable hub and bearing assembly. Easily removable means that once the wheel and brake calipers are removed then the rotor can be removed. To remove the rotor from the serviceable hub and bearing assembly you will have to remove the wheel studs. The second way to verify which type of hub and bearing assembly you have is to remove the hub lock. For a serviceable style you will notice an adjustable nut attaching the hub and bearing assembly to the spindle. The non-serviceable style will not have a nut; instead it is attached to the steering knuckles by 4 bolts.
We recommend that you download and print out a Quigley “Routine Maintenance Schedule” and keep a copy in your vehicle as well as a copy in your vehicle records. If you are not sure which type of axle system your Quigley vehicle has or for any other questions regarding your maintenance schedule please contact us here and supply the last 8-digits of your VIN # (serial number).
