If your wheel hub bearing fails, you’ll notice a roaring noise at high speeds. So when test driving the vehicle, be sure to push the odometer over 50 mph. If you hear a roaring noise, try to narrow it down to one of the axles. It will save you time during inspection.

It’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you think that a customer’s car may have a bad wheel hub assembly, it’s worth taking the time to investigate. Or even if you’re just rotating a customer’s tires, it’s worth taking the time to check for wheel hub assembly failure.
