But good news there, as there’s an easy test that may help. While it’s not 100% foolproof, if you notice the noise stops while you’re slightly veering left or right, then an opposite side wheel bearing is the likely culprit.

A wheel bearing has a real simple job: It makes sure that your wheel spins freely, without any binding or vibration. A wheel bearing’s goal is to mitigate the effects of friction, which ultimately improves your car’s ability to roll smoothly—all while reducing wear to ensure it’s able to do so for a long time.

The takeaway here is that early detection is important. And narrowing it down to the precise wheel can help save you some time and money in diagnostic costs.

That’s because veering like this shifts the weight off the side of the particular offending wheel for a few moments. Now unloaded with less stress, the bearing might shut up for a second and be perfectly content. When the vehicle weight shift returns to normal, the bearing is back to being loaded and it’ll start to whine again (sometimes literally).

If you turn left, you unload left wheel, sake with right. If you turn left and sound dissapears it means that your left bearing is bad.

But given the amount of times it has to keep the wheels spinning really, really fast (and the rain-, dust-, and salt-rich environment it often has to work in), a wheel bearing will eventually wear out. While a failed wheel bearing can be a big problem, the good news is, it’ll probably give you plenty of warning that it’s going bad—you just have to know what to listen for.

You may also start to feel it through your steering wheel or in your backside seismograph. Again, a wheel bearing’s job is to ensure your wheel spins smoothly. When it doesn’t, you’ll probably start sensing unpleasant vibration and noise throughout the passenger cabin.

The noise/vibration might only be noticeable at certain speeds, and it may even go away momentarily depending on chassis movement (more on that in a sec). In any event, it’ll likely get worse as the bearing continues its progression towards complete failure, so it’s good that you catch it as early as possible.

Also you can check a bad bearing buy taking off the grease caps then taking on a short run. Stop the car and with a thermometer point it at the centre of the bearing both sides of the car.The hottest bearing is the most worn and will give the loudest noises.

Hey Patty, I checked and it looks like, for the GMC Terrain, they’re sold as a wheel bearing & hub assembly, just like the ones in the topmost picture of this article—which typically makes them a bit easier to replace. Currently, Summit Racing carries over a dozen different types, with quite a few in stock, ready to ship. Click here to see the wheel bearing hub assemblies for 2013 GMC Terrain. (Or, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find a replacement at your friendly local auto parts store too.) … Just remember to order the correct one for the correct wheel–Front or back, driver or Passenger side—as the application can differ a lot, particularly on AWD vs 2WD models. Good luck!

It often boils down to both the vehicle and the driving conditions. All-wheel-drive cars put different demands on wheel bearings than, say, front wheel drive cars. Late-model performance cars place stresses on wheel bearings that regular commuter cars don’t. Mud-slinging off-roaders subject their wheel bearings to muck and grit that a street-driven car rarely sees. Make sense?

Hello Marius, it’s not a turn, per se. It’s a slight, gentle shift (left or right) while you’re moving in a straight line—just enough to take some weight from the other side of the vehicle for a slight moment. When it’s unloaded, the noise may stop and, when it shifts back, it may start back up. … Again, it’s not a 100% scientific diagnostic, but it’s worked for us several times in the past.

I’m confused at the question – but if you’re asking about handling then yes, a bad wheel bearing can affect the way the car handles and moves—it’s not something you want to drive on, so if you suspect it’s going bad, have it inspected as soon as you can.

We’ve got a really good article on driveline noises that goes into more detail. Check it out here: Quick Guide to Diagnosing Differential & Driveline Noises

Since a wheel bearing is located at or near the wheel, the noise will probably be coming from one corner of your vehicle—provided you’ve only got one bad bearing, of course.

It’s always a challenge to describe a noise in text, but a bad wheel bearing will often start out as a “growl,” sort of like a dull, soft grinding noise. It can also be a whine, a hum, or a soft roar. In some cases, bad wheel bearing noise could even manifest as a clunk or squeak.

So while at highway speeds, if you can safely(!) rock the steering wheel slightly left and right to shift the vehicle’s weight to each side, it may further help you diagnose where the noise is coming from.

Very, very good point–we’ve even seen folks pinpoint a trailer bearing that was physically hot to the touch. Heat’s a key byproduct of friction, so it’s often a telltale sign of a bad bearing.

A wheel bearing is typically composed of a series of small roller bearings arranged in a circle and encased in a durable shell. The assembly is packed in grease and sealed to prevent excessive moisture and grit ingress. Then, the whole thing slips around the vehicle’s axle or spindle, where it can spin right round, baby.

That’s a tough question to answer with a definitive mile threshold. We hear tell of wheel bearings lasting the life of the vehicle, like 200,000 miles and up. Conversely, some cars (cough*old Subarus*cough) seem to go through wheel bearings every few years or so.

It’s usually pretty easy to determine if the noise is coming from the front or back, given the driver’s seating position and their proximity to the front wheels. The hard part is often determining whether the noise is coming from the left or right (driver or passenger) side of the vehicle.

The key word above is “listen.” Though you may be able to jack-up your vehicle and check the wheel for movement and play, noise will typically be your first (and best) indicator that you’ve got a wheel bearing on its way out.

But before you point the finger at a wheel bearing, you want to make sure the noise isn’t coming from somewhere else. So here are a few things to consider:

Hey Randy, it’s no so much a turn as it is a gentle, momentary veer–enough to unload weight on the opposite side for a fraction of a second. Once the steering wheel returns to neutral, the weight re-centers and the noise returns. Make sense?
