Bad wheel bearinghumming noise

You may also detect that the car pulls to one side, or the tyres may wear unevenly – though this can also be a sign that the wheels need realignment.

When the wheel turns it does not rotate directly on the axle; rather, it rotates around the wheel bearing, which allows it to turn smoothly. Wheel bearings exist to reduce friction.

Wheel bearings are replaced in one of two ways: either a press is used to force the bearing out of the wheel hub, and force a new one in, or the entire hub assembly is replaced. Whichever method is used, you’ll need to know what you’re doing.

What does a bad wheel bearing sound likeat high speed

As a driver, the most common way of telling a failing bearing is a grinding noise that tends to get worse the faster you go, or the noise may only present itself when you are turning.

This will depend on the car and how much parts are, and what your garage’s hourly labour rate is, but wheel bearings are not hugely time consuming to replace, and £200-£250 should get the job done.

Each wheel on your car has a wheel bearing, and this component connects the wheel to the axle of the car. A wheel bearing comprises a set of ball bearings (small, smooth metal balls) or metal tapers (small, smooth metal cylinders) held together inside two rings of metal, surrounded with grease.

Friction can never be truly eliminated, only reduced, and over time wheel bearings themselves wear out, though the most common reason for wheel bearings to fail is that their seals let the grease out, and water and grit in, damaging the balls and tapers.

If you’ve come online trying to find this piece of information out, probably not. Replacing a wheel bearing requires a good working knowledge of mechanics, and potentially some specialist tools.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Frequently driving through mud or water can speed up the failure of a wheel bearing, while if you have one replaced and the new bearing is not installed in perfect alignment, this can cause premature wear.

Unfortunately you can’t: the only solution to a worn, noisy wheel bearing is to have it replaced by a garage; bearings are not repairable.
