Loud grinding noise when drivingreddit

In a lot of vehicles, the bearings are sealed and don’t need to be maintained. Because the bearings are sealed, they could last up to 100,000 miles or more, and will require replacing once they fail.

A wheel bearing is a component of the rear and front wheel hubs. In the front of the vehicle, the hub attaches the wheel to the steering knuckle of the suspension. The wheel is connected to the hub, and the hub spins effortlessly inside the wheel bearing. This enables the weight of the vehicle to rest on the hub while it spins as it maintains as minimal surface contact as possible.

On average, wheel bearing replacement costs about $441 in the US, wheel bearing replacement costs can range from $383 to $498 according to RepairPal.com, and other sources.

Labor costs estimates are between $137 and $173 while parts cost between $246 and $325. Estimate doesn’t include taxes and fees.

I’ve been lucky enough that in the 150,000 miles I’ve driven the car I haven’t had one. If one happens then I guess I’ll pray…I also have family in the area and don’t travel very often

150K miles, the odds are getting better and better getting a flat tire with each mile you drive. Get a jack, they are cheap.

The vehicle’s wheel bearing gets lubricated with grease for it to further decrease friction. A lot of vehicles have sealed wheel bearings that encase the ball bearings and the grease.

I was driving the other day and heard a weird grinding that seemed to stop after time. Then yesterday it started back up, it sounded like the passenger wheel was grinding against something. I looked and saw that something above it was ripped. How can I fix this and would it be costly to fix this? Also, how crucial is it (will it mess the car up if I wait a while to fix it) 20170724_190808.jpg2851×2138 1.67 MB

I haven’t yet… I actually don’t have the tools to raise the jack I lost it a while back. Any other advice or ways to check it?

If it is a grinding coming from the passenger wheel then have it looked at as soon as you can and get an actual opinion before the wheel locks up or falls off. This is something that could be simple or not.

That’s just the rubber boot on the strut that has torn. It’s a common thing for struts to do. Highly unlikely it would cause a grinding noise as you were driving. The symptom for that would be a poor ride quality, not grinding noises. For the grinding noises, good idea look at the inside side walls of the tires, see if you can see any marks indicating a tire is rubbing on something. You haven’t recently installed new tires right? Of a bigger size than before?

Vehicles that have conventional, tapering wheel bearings need have them serviced every 25,000 to 30,000 miles — replacement might not be necessary as long as they’re regularly maintained.

Wheel bearings are a set of steel ball bearings that are kept together by a metal ring that enables the wheels of a vehicle to spin as effortlessly as possible.

I’ve looked at the outside of the tire and there aren’t any indications of anything rubbing. I haven’t gotten new tires recently. When it first started happening I would hear it once I got 60 or 70 mph. But now I only hear it when the car is going at a slow speed (5-20 mph). It’s odd

The short answer is yes, but not as long as you would like. As the wear advances, so does the chance of damage happening to other components of the suspension.

Jack up the passenger side front wheel and spin by hand and then repeat for the rear wheel. Maybe you can re-create the sound and determine what causes it. Could be one of many things, including wheel bearing.

Do you mean grinding coincident with the tire going around or grinding coincident with the front end bouncing over bumps?

If you believe that a wheel bearing is starting to wear, have a trained mechanic evaluate the issue as sooner than later. A vehicle with a considerably worn wheel bearing should not be driven. When the wheel bearing totally fails, the wheel could potentially come off the vehicle and cause an accident.
