Some wheel bearings can be repaired with new rollers and new grease. Others are sealed and need to be replaced entirely. See your NAPA Auto Parts specialist for the right part or NAPA AUTOPRO service centre to have your vehicle repaired by our experts.

Simply put, a ball joint is a ball in a socket with some grease—kind of like a hip joint. The fixed socket attaches to the control arm or other suspension link. The ball end usually attaches to something that moves, like your car’s hub assembly.

Simply put, a ball joint is a ball in a socket with some grease—kind of like a hip joint. The fixed socket attaches to the control arm or other suspension link. The ball end usually attaches to something that moves, like your car’s hub assembly. The ball joint lets your suspension move up and down while keeping the tire tread flat against the road. It also lets your wheels pivot in and out when you steer your car.

To check the bearing, you need to jack up the wheel you suspect might be the culprit. Keep in mind that most car noises can be tough to pin down because sound echoes around the vehicle. So, if you’re worried about one bearing, it’s a good idea to check all four.

When your car’s suspension starts creaking and squeaking or feeling loose, your wheel bearings or ball joints are likely to blame. How do you know if they’re the problem or not? Don’t worry, here’s how to check your wheel bearings and ball joints.

The ball or roller bearings are held inside the races. The bearings allow the inner race to turn without moving the outer race. Both races hold the bearings in place so the wheel doesn’t move in or out or up or down unless the outer race is also moving.

Is that click or whir something serious or something that can wait? Learn how to check your wheel bearings and ball joints and find out in a hurry.

originally i was thinking of using brass for the bushing material however i have heard of UHMW and HDPE being used in similar scenarios. these parts will not slide against each other once assembled except for chain tension adjustments. what material would you recommend?

Once your car is lifted, grab the wheel at 3 and 9 to see if it’s loose. Do the same with your hands at 12 and 6. If the wheel (not the tire, tires are flexible) moves but the knuckle it attaches to doesn’t, then it’s time for a new bearing.

Engineers apply the knowledge of math & science to design and manufacture maintainable systems used to solve specific problems. AskEngineers is a forum for questions about the technologies, standards, and processes used to design & build these systems, as well as for questions about the engineering profession and its many disciplines.

I am in the process of rebuilding the digging arm (48" long 3" wide, supports a 15'? ANSI 160 Roller chain) and need to work on the joint that attaches this arm to the machine. the old design was a OD: 2" square bar inserted in to a steel square tube that had an ID of 2.50".

In a properly functioning ball joint, the ball should sit snugly in the socket. More than about one mm of space between the ball and socket means the joint is worn and it’s time to replace it. The same goes for your wheel bearings.

First, what’s a bearing? It’s the part that connects your spinning wheel to the stationary suspension. It has three main parts: the inner and outer bearing races (the channels that holds the rollers) and the bearing rollers.

the new design uses the old 2" support bar and the arm is rebuilt out of 3x3 square tube with a wall thickness of 0.375 (3/8) which has an ID of 2.25". since i have 0.25" of clearance i am wondering what the best material would be to shim this.

Grab the wheel at 3 and 9 and try to wobble it in and out. Watch the ball joints (there may be several depending on your car) one at a time to see whether the ball is rattling in the socket. Also look for any ripped or torn rubber boots, as a torn boot is a sign that water is getting in and you need a replacement joint.

You may also be able to hear or feel the rattling. A screwdriver tip on the joint can act as a mechanic’s stethoscope. You might need a second set of hands for this.

The first obvious sign of a bad wheel bearing is a helicopter-like roaring sound at highway speeds. It will start out low-pitched at lower speeds and get higher as you go faster.

One of the first symptoms of ball joint wear is usually a clicking sound when you steer or hit a bump. You may also feel like your steering is loose. Both issues are caused by excess movement in the joint.

First, what’s a bearing? It’s the part that connects your spinning wheel to the stationary suspension. It has three main parts: the inner and outer bearing races (the channels that holds the rollers) and the bearing rollers. The ball or roller bearings are held inside the races. The bearings allow the inner race to turn without moving the outer race. Both races hold the bearings in place so the wheel doesn’t move in or out or up or down unless the outer race is also moving. Over time, both the bearing races and the bearing rollers can wear out.

The ball joint lets your suspension move up and down while keeping the tire tread flat against the road. It also lets your wheels pivot in and out when you steer your car.
