Bad wheel bearing

Premium Materials - To ensure a smooth surface, free from defects, burrs, and cracks, all bearing housings are manufactured with polyamides for added impact toughness and age resistance.

The wheel hub and steering knuckle are connected to the vehicle’s frame by means of the control arms, with bushings located at the joints between the upper and lower arms. These bushings are meant to absorb shocks and vibrations, but when these impacts build up over time, the parts will eventually be damaged, causing the grinding noise when you turn the steering wheel.

Durability & Performance - Hub bearings use high-quality rubber to optimize the seal’s performance and durability against high temperatures and weathering.

A car is made up of moving parts, and some of them are located in the steering and suspension systems. Any one of these components malfunctioning can result in a grinding noise as you turn the steering wheel.

A wheel hub, or wheel bearing, is a component that keeps your wheel attached to your vehicle while allowing the wheels to turn freely for safe steering. This is also vital to a vehicle’s anti-lock braking and traction control systems. The wheel hub bolts to the steering knuckle and allows for a brake rotor and wheel to be attached to it via studs and lug nuts. When your wheel hub goes bad, it can cause various issues that affect your steering and acceleration. Today, we will look at 4 signs of a bad wheel hub.

The wheel and steering rack are connected by a joint that straightens the steering shaft. Regular wear and tear can break down this component prematurely. When the joint has stopped moving properly, the steering wheel can end up being stiffer than usual,  apart from producing a grinding noise.

Ball joints link the control arms and steering knuckles to help maintain the car’s control while running at a variety of speeds. To do this properly they need to be properly lubricated. If the lubrication on the ball joint dries up, this can increase friction between the ball and socket, causing the grinding noise.

The tie rods enable the wheels to respond to the input from the steering wheel. Over time, tie rods can become loose, damaged, or worn from excessive use. Consequently, this will make the steering wheel produce noticeable grinding or creaking noises that can be audible not just to the driver, but to the passengers as well.

A metal-on-metal screeching at low speeds is usually diagnosed as brake pads that need to be replaced. While this is the reason in many cases, if you know your brakes are new or don’t need to be replaced, you can usually narrow it down to your wheel hub. A wheel hub that has lost its grease and is wearing the bearings with no lubrication will produce a loud metal-on-metal sound at low speeds.

If you notice an unusual noise coming from your wheel at moderate speeds, a few things could be wrong. Your lugs could not be tight, your brakes may be dragging, or your wheel bearing may be bad. It is often hard to diagnose a noise at moderate speeds, but if you have inspected your brakes and checked your lug nuts, which are both good, you most likely have a bad wheel hub.

Lastly, if your Anti-Lock Brake Light or Traction Control Light illuminates and you are experiencing vibrations in your steering wheel, you most likely have a bad wheel bearing. In most modern cars, a wheel bearing that has gone bad will cause the system to trip. This will cause an ABS speed sensor code to be stored and your dash light to illuminate to indicate that you have an issue.

If your wheel bearing has begun to wear down and metal-on-metal contact without enough grease to lubricate it properly, you will experience vibrations in your steering wheel. As the metal bearings start to wear down, there will be more play in the wheel bearing, causing them to vibrate.

The power steering rack connects the fuel and electrical systems together, assisting you in turning the wheel with minimal effort. When noises appear as you pull the steering wheel to the left or the right at low speeds, it’s probably the power steering rack that needs to be fixed or replaced.

Quality Control - In order to increase longevity and resist abrasion, GSP’s ball bearings are spaced precisely to the appropriate clearance for smooth rotation.

Jounce bushings on the front struts dampen the shocks and bumps that a car endures on a regular basis. Eventually, the bushings will dry out, or a particularly nasty bump might be too much for the lubrication to dampen. When this happens, the vibration will become stronger and the joints will move excessively.

A grinding noise during maneuvers could warrant inspecting the health of the steering’s upper bearing. It’s especially vulnerable during hot and humid weather which adds to the heat generated by the car’s operation. As a result, the steering column could expand and cause the plastic parts to rub against other components, producing sound.

You’re going for your normal drive, but start to notice a horrific grinding sound every time your vehicle makes a turn. It’s only natural to be alarmed, but chances are it’s something that can be replaced or repaired.

Cars move around by means of the steering wheel, which controls the front wheels. As a mechanical instrument made up of moving parts, your car makes a number of sounds while in operation. However, grinding noise when turning left or right shouldn’t be one of them.

Engineered to support the weight of the vehicle, shock absorbers and struts should ideally last for a long time. But real-world usages such as frequent exposure to ruts and bumps can accelerate the wear and tear on suspension components, leading to premature damage.

Vulcanization Process - All Hub Assemblies go through a vacuum vulcanization process to enhance the structural integrity of the seal and rubber components.

While some noises may not be too serious and easily fixed, others can point to more sinister problems that make your car unsafe to drive or unreliable. Either way, if your car is moaning and groaning–bring it in and get it looked at by a reliable mechanic right away.
