Regular maintenance and periodic inspections as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer can help prevent premature wheel bearing failure.

Replacing a wheel bearing is a critical repair for your safety, and it’s important to ensure it’s done correctly. Always consult your vehicle’s service manual for precise instructions. If you are unsure of your mechanical skills or tooling requirements, it’s best to have a professional mechanic perform this task.

However, if you notice warning signs such as unusual noises (grinding or humming), vibrations, or poor handling, or even the ABS and traction warning symbol on the dashboard, it’s crucial to have your wheel bearings inspected and replaced as needed.
