⛓️ Does my car have a timing belt or chain? To check whether your car has a timing belt or chain, you can either ask your mechanic, check your owner's manual, or visually check it by removing a cover placed at the end of the engine. Using the right tool to remove the cover, the timing chain is easily recognizable by its metal links, while the belt is made of rubber and is much more flexible.

To confirm if the suspected wheel hub is defective, jack up the vehicle at the specific wheel. Put the car in neutral and chock the wheels. Test for looseness at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions and if the wheel is firm, test at the 6 and 12 o’clock positions. If it is not secured firmly, the hub will have to be replaced. Considering it is a safety hazard that can lead to a lost wheel while driving, we recommend replacing the hub as soon as possible.

A bad wheel hub can increase or decrease in volume while taking a turn. Because the outside wheel works harder when turning, the bad wheel bearing will decrease in sound when turning on the side with the good hub, and it will increase in sound when turning on the side with the bad hub. So if you hear an amplified sound from the wheel while turning, it’s likely the hub on the opposite side that needs to be replaced.
