What are the Signs of a Failed Wheel Bearing

A wheel bearing is an important part of both the drive axle and the steering assembly. It allows the wheels to spin freely without any heat buildup. Over time, the wheel bearings wear out and need to be replaced by experienced mechanics. You may observe unusual tire wear and a vibrating steering wheel. See the mentioned slideshow to learn the signs of a failed wheel bearing.

  1. What are the Signs of a Failed Wheel Bearing?

  2. Wheel bearing is a highly critical part of 2 components. Such as: • Driver-axle • Steering assembly

  3. Allow the tires and wheels to spin freely without any heat buildup.

  4. Wheel bearings last for a long time, but eventually, they will: • Loose lubricity • Wear out • Need replacement

  5. Even become loose from wear inside the wheel hub assembly.

  6. Below warning signs indicate the failed wheel bearing of car.

  7. Unusual Tire Wear

  8. Mechanical problem can lead to abnormal tire wear including:

  9. Worn out wheel bearing is the common reason for uneven tire wear.

  10. If the left tire is showing more wear, it indicates left wheel bearing is damaged.

  11. Vibrated Steering Wheel

  12. Vibrated steering wheel is caused due to the worn-out wheel bearing.

  13. Vibration due to bad bearing will be noticed at slower speeds.

  14. Progressively get worse when you try to accelerate the car.

  15. Unusual Noise

  16. Worn out wheel bearing can cause unusual noise in the car such as: • Loud grinding • Loud roaring

  17. Caused due to the excess heat built up inside the wheel bearing.

  18. Sound will hear from one specific wheel and not both sides at the same time.

  19. Play In Wheels

  20. If the wheel bearing is damaged, then the wheel of a car will wobble.

  21. Due to worn out bearing, the tire/wheel assembly moves back and forth.

  22. Damaged wheel bearing also cause a hard time for the car to roll.

  23. Conclusion

  24. When you notice any of the signs, contact a certified mechanic.

  25. Mechanic will test, diagnose and replace the bearing if needed.
