Double row bearing

You have every reason to act quickly on this. Wheel bearings are pretty cheap to buy and get replaced on most cars. It's a half hour's work for a mechanic with the right tools, and maybe a 1-2 hour job for a home mechanic with basic tools. If you wait until there's a bearing failure and the spindle gets damaged then the costs go up dramatically.

These 5200 and 5300 series Metric Double Row bearings are produced to ABEC 1 Classification and are available in industrial grade 2RS double sealed ball bearings or ZZ double shielded ball bearings. The industrial grade sealed Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearings feature dual-lip non-contact seals on both sides. While the industrial grade shielded Doubled Row Angular Contact Ball Bearings feature metal shields on both sides.

It depends really on how bad the bearing is with regards to what driving it's ok to continue with, really a failed bearing should be replaced ASAP. Some bearings will just hum along for months and months.. But that hum is coming from a damaged/pitted bearing surface, and nobody knows for sure how long they'll really last before the bearings actually starts to break-up/crack etc.

A noisy wheel bearing isn't generally that dangerous a condition, usually they will just get noisier for awhile. However, if a bearing suddenly fails and takes the rest of the bearings out your wheel could suddenly seize up, or more likely it will get a serious shimmy, which is dangerous no matter what road you are driving on. It would be a pretty extreme case for the wheel to fly off.

The faster you travel wind noise will often shroud noises that the vehicle is making so don't think that the fault has gone away at that point.

Wheels won't normally come off due to a failed wheel bearing, but they can in some circumstances.. Say an outer bearing race collapses and wears away the stub axle washer & nut, then a wheel may come off.

Can a wheel fly off? I'm avoiding highways (65+ miles/hour - 100+ km/hour) until this is fixed, but are country roads, and country road speeds, also to be avoided?

KML Bearing USA’s Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearings are one of the most versatile designs for applications where increased radial load rating, thrust load and compact space are the parameters. That’s because the structure of KML Bearing USA’s Double Row design combines two single row angular contact bearings back-to-back in one united ball bearing. The Back-to-Back mounting has a large distance between the acting load center of the bearing and therefore a large moment capacity. This type of mounting also makes the allowable misalignment angle small.

It doesn't really matter what roads your driving on as a failed bearing, especially a bad or noisy one will start to generate its own heat and self destructive environment, so even driving reasonably slowly won't stop it wearing.

When axial space is limited and higher loads are the requirement, it’s time to call-in KML Bearing USA’s Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearings…as with most KML products they are factory lubricated with Chevron SRI#2 grease; a high temperature ball and roller bearing grease with rust and oxidation inhibitors, it is recommended in a wide range of automotive, industrial applications and wherever high operating RPM’s are necessary.

For some reason, by the time I reach 50 miles/hour (80 km/hour) the noise has already gone down. It could be failing wheel bearings. It could be sawtooth tires.

Featuring the same construction as KML Bearing USA’s Metric Single Row Deep Groove Radial ball bearings, the inner ring, outer ring and balls are produced using vacuum degassed 52100 bearing steel. They come standard with Nylatron cage snap ball retention for low noise operation. The 5200 series Metric Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearings are recommended for lighter loads running at higher speeds. While the 5300 series Metric Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearings are recommended for heavier loads running at slower speeds.
