Wheelbearings

Chances are when you start hearing a loud noise from under the hood of your car as you’re driving, you automatically think it’s an exhaust leak or your car is going to break at any moment. But have you thought about the possibility of a broken — or nearly broken — wheel bearing causing that noise?

Wheel bearings are essential in the operation of your vehicle. More precisely, a wheel bearing is crucial for the proper function of the hub, tire, and wheel assemblies to work together. The wheel bearing allows friction-free movement and rotation of the hub assembly, and thereby provides smooth tire and wheel rotation. Worn-out or damaged wheel bearings can lead to a range of problems that affect vehicle performance and safety, making it essential for drivers to recognize the signs of trouble.

Vehicle Pulling to One Side While Driving. Are you doing the steering, or is the car driving where it wants to? When a wheel bearing corrodes or becomes pitted, the smooth exterior lining is gone and the vibration is transmitted to the tires which may feel like it is “pulling” to one side or the other. As the bearing on one side deteriorates, it puts more pressure on the opposite bearing, leading to uneven wear and increased friction. This uneven wear generates heat, which further accelerates the degradation of the bearing. As a result, the affected wheel may start to wobble or vibrate, robbing the vehicle of its stability and smooth handling, especially when cornering or driving at higher speeds.

测定方法︰根据ASTM B311、B328与MPIF Standard 42与JIS Z2505、Z2506和GB/T 5163为准则。 1、测定数量︰     不含油重量在2g以下的产品，将几个组合成一个测定单位，将测定单位在2g以上的更加小数量做组合数量。 2、测定容许重量︰     依机械部品的外形尺寸加以考虑是否加以分割量测。尽可能整体量测，若机械部品的外形尺寸太大则含油重量在300g以上的机械部品，应将制品分割，将测定重量放置于300g以下来测定。 3、完全品含油率．密度的测定： (1)、除去表面附着的油︰用纸巾将测定品表面（含内径面）的附着油除去。 (2)、含油重量的测定（B重）︰测定对象品放置于天平测定重量（含油状况的重量），     测定值的读取方法︰g表示的场合取小数点第三、四位。 (3)、水中重量的测定（C重）︰将测定对象悬浮于水中，用天平测定其水中的重量。    确认水中的铁丝及测定对象上无气泡的残存附着后，才开始读数。 (4)、无含油重量测定（A重）︰ 测量测定对象为︰成形和烧结不含油素材，直接称取无含油重量。 测量测定对象为︰含油成品的不含油的重量，可用燃烧法和溶剂萃取法2种去油后，称取其重量。 4、燃烧法︰关于透过燃烧来测定无含油重量︰     去除掉测定对象中所含油，用瓦斯喷灯或酒精灯，燃烧测定对象，这时，应注意以下几点，防止测定物过分燃烧或燃烧不全。     燃烧测定对象时，尽量在无风状况下进行，并在燃烧开始前确认有无导致燃烧中途停止的要素存在。     将测定对象串在铁棒上，将测定对象一一在瓦斯喷灯的火焰中燃烧。     透过加热，测定物的含油开始燃烧，测定物的含油开如燃烧后，将测定物由瓦斯喷灯的火焰中离开，让轴承中的油单独燃烧。     重量在2g以下的轴承使用酒精灯加热。     测定对象的火焰消减时，做为燃烧终了的一个基准。     测定对象燃烧完毕后，为防止测定对象被氧化，应迅速将测定物放置于清洁的铁板上除热。 5、溶剂抽出法︰ 关于用有机溶液萃取出来，测定无含油重量︰ 将测定对象放置于大量的清洁的脱脂用有机溶液中8小时以上浸泡。 在热风下干燥20分钟，除去测定对象内残存的有机溶济。 有机溶济除去后，于冷风下降低测定对象温度后测定重量。 6、生胚密度的测量︰ (1)直接称取生材无含油重量（A重） (2)将产品浸泡在油中用，用酒精灯加热，直至油温达到60℃±5℃ (3)将产品放在铁板上冷却擦去表面残油。 (4)含油重（B重）和水中重（C重）同完成品含油率密度的测定方法。

Tire Wear and Tear. What about your tires? We all know the importance of rotating your tires to promote even wear, but did you know a broken wheel bearing can lead to uneven tire wear too? The looseness of the wheel and the vibration that reverberates through the wheel cause your tires to wear unevenly, meaning you are more likely to have to invest in new tires sooner.

Car Feels Loose. Does your car feel loose? When you hear professional drivers talk about a “loose” car, you may not know what that means. It often refers to the steering of the vehicle, which can include wheel bearings. Wheel looseness, or also called wheel play, is another common symptom of a bad wheel bearing. As the bearing begins to wear down, they become loose inside the wheel hub and spindle, which makes your vehicle feel loose while steering.

A: Typically, wheel bearings last between 85,000 to 100,000 miles, but this can vary based on driving conditions and maintenance.

A: Driving with a bad wheel bearing is dangerous as it can lead to wheel failure and accidents. It should be addressed immediately.

Unusual Noises Coming From the Wheels. Listen carefully. The most common and often most-identifiable symptom associated with a bad wheel bearing is noise coming from the wheel or tire area of the moving vehicle. You may mistake this as engine noise, but when you listen closely you will likely hear grinding or grating that gets louder as the vehicle accelerates. Since wheel bearings are not known for wearing out too frequently, the noise is typically suspected to be something else and the problem gets overlooked.

When wheel bearings wear out, they can have a significant impact on vehicle performance, leading to increased friction and resistance within the wheel assembly. This extra friction forces the engine to work harder to maintain the same speed, resulting in decreased fuel efficiency. Additionally, worn bearings can cause uneven tire wear, as the compromised alignment and stability of the wheels lead to irregular contact with the road surface. Hitting a pothole or other road hazard can exacerbate bearing damage, potentially causing sudden bearing failure and loss of vehicle control. The deterioration of wheel bearings also affects the proper transfer of torque from the engine to the wheels, further compromising handling and increasing braking distance.
