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.

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.

Regular servicing and the annual MOT test should pick up a failing bearing, which will often reveal itself by the wheel not spinning as smoothly as it should when the car is in the air.

The importance of a correctly functioning CV-joint is clear as it provides drive from the differential side gears to the wheels. The CV-joint has a rubber cover enclosing the lubricated moving components. The rubber cover is known as the boot and protects the lubricant from getting contaminated. In its position underneath the vehicle, the joint would be exposed to large amounts of contaminants. This would impair the effectiveness of the grease and result in joint wear with eventual failure. The CV boot does fail over time and typically develops a crack allowing contaminants into the joint. This is a common issue frequently diagnosed by a clicking noise while making sharp turns. It results in the CV-joint needing replacement. However, it is possible and much cheaper to replace a CV-joint boot instead of the whole joint if you catch it in time!

Attachment of the axle to the differential can be either Universal joints (U-joints) or constant-velocity (CV) joints. With the ability to handle larger angles than U-joints, CV joints are more commonly used in axle applications. U-joints are more commonly used for the drive shaft where angular change is minimal. The most common CV-joint is the Rzeppa-type employing ball bearings contained within a grease lubricated inner and outer housing.

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.

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.

The independent motion of each wheel in any direction means the ride should be more comfortable. This also leads to a better handling vehicle. The transfer of forces endured by one wheel through the differential and vehicle structure to the other wheel can causes smaller displacements to be more noticeable by the vehicle occupants. However, the more rigid structure of the solid axle means that for heavier vehicles and those designated for heavy duty applications, the solid axle can be considered more durable due to lesser joints and torque transfer points between the differential and the wheels.

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.

And while cars are complex machines that can emit strange noises from all manner of places and for a number of reasons, wheel bearings are components that tend to make a noise when they are defective.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In the case of the solid axle, the ends of the axle shafts have splines which slot into the hub. This transfers the drive to the wheel. It provides a solid (non-flexible) link from the side gear to the wheel hub. Due to the flexible joints on independent suspension systems, this is achieved by a separate component known as the stub axle. The stub axle has the same splines and is attached to the flexible joint on the axle shaft. See the image below for an illustration.

The primary difference between independent suspension axles and solid axles is the construction, (or lack of), a housing surrounding the axle shafts joining the wheel hub and differential. Most noticeably the axle tubes of the solid axle are not present on the independent suspension axle. Instead, the axle shafts appear similar to miniature drive shafts. They have flexible joints attaching them to the differential and wheel hubs. These joints allow the movement of each wheel to be independent of the other. This means when one side of the suspension is compressed and that wheel rises, this does not impose an angular change on the entire axle (and vehicle) with regard to the other wheel. Hence, the differential and axle connected to the other wheel can remain at their current height and angle.
