1. Symptoms ofWornWheel Hub Bearings

2. Introduction • Wheel bearing comes in a pair of inner and outer bearings. • The wheel bearing of your car has to support the entire weight of your vehicle while travelling through rough terrains. • It also bears the edgeways forces of corners you take. • It also allows your wheel to spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. • Wheel bearings don’t have a constant supply of oil to lubricate and cool them.

3. Snapping /Clicking • This is an indication of a worn or broken outer CV-joint. • It also indicates excessive bearing endplay. • It is generally related to inadequate clamping • You’ll hear this clicking and snapping sound when turning corners or taking sharp turns.

4. Clunking • This sound indicates damage or excessive functioning in the CV or U-joints. • It is also the result of backlash in the differential gear. • This sound has less to do with bearing and more to do with the shifting from changing direction.

5. Grinding • You’ll only hear this sound when the vehicle is in motion. • This indicates mechanical damage in a vehicle’s wheel system. • It means the wheel bearing is suffering from loss of integrity, which is related to roller or raceway damage. • You’ll normally hear this sound when there is a shift in load

6. Wheel Vibration • This is basically related to worn tire, wheel or transmission component. • When talking about the wheel bearing it indicates loss of clamp or un-repairable damage to the bearing.
