WATCH: What Are Some Wheel Bearing Diagnosis Methods Used By Technicians?
Some worn wheel bearings can be detected by rocking the vehicle from side to side at low speeds with the steering wheel.
Watch: Diagnosing Wheel Noise Isn’t So Straightforward
Some people think that if a wheel is making noise when a vehicle moves, it’s got to be a bad bearing. But a closer look through some inspection can reveal that it could be something else entirely.
Watch: Mystery Sounds From A Vehicle’s Wheel Require A Closer Look
Some people think that if a wheel is making noise when a vehicle moves, it’s got to be a bad bearing. But a closer look through some inspection can reveal that it could be something else entirely.
WATCH: Wheel Bearing Diagnostics Can Be Confusing
If a vehicle is emitting a growling noise that’s more noticeable in a specific gear range, a worn bearing in the transmission may be causing the bearing noise.
Watch: How Do Hub Bearings Affect Braking Safety?
Hub bearings include the wheel speed sensor that controls the anti-lock braking system (ABS). This sensor sends a constant signal to the ABS control system, telling it how fast each wheel is turning.
WATCH: Why a Wheel Hub Assembly Is So Important
Made of precision-manufactured bearings, seals and sensors in one pre-assembled unit, a wheel hub bearing unit is critical to performance — from the smoothness of the ride, to fuel efficiency and the integrity of anti-lock braking systems.
Leading Causes Of Wheel Bearing Failure: WATCH
The inside of a bearing can be a hot place. When a bearing is cooling off, the contracting metal, air and lubricant can create a vacuum that is usually held by the seals.
Busted Knuckles: Bearings And Seals For Monobeam Front Axles
Servicing the ball joints and u-joints on monobeam axles requires a fair amount of steering knuckle disassembly just to access these components.
