it makes a humming noise, when you turn the wheel in one direction it will go away and turn it the other way and it will become more pronounced A bearing will ether make noise when you are driving strait and will stop when turning, or visa versa.
Most of the time you can hear a bad wheel bearing but the only 100% sure way to know is to remove the bearing and inspect it.Most of the time you can hear a bad wheel bearing but the only 100% sure way to know is to remove the bearing and inspect it.
Really need to know the year, make, model and front or rear wheel bearing to answer this correctly.
Need to know if it is 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
Generally a grinding sound can be heard from the offending wheel at first. If a wheel bearing is suspect, jack one side of the car up at a time and grab the wheel at the 12 and 6 o'clock position and see if the wheel has excessive play on the horizontal axis. If there is play, then a wheel bearing failure is likely.
Timken bearing better but I dont know
Yes, provided you have the necessary tools and know-how to do it.
If you hear a noise you suspect is a bad wheel bearing try this. While driving slowly turn the wheel sharply to the left. If the noise goes away your left front wheel bearing is bad. Now, turn sharply to the right. If the noise goes away you right front wheel bearing is bad. The only 100% sure fire way to know for sure is to remove the wheel bearing and inspect it.
yes I have had my wheel bearing replaced free under warranty. just don't let them know that you could have possibly damaged it under human error and it shouldn't be a problem.
I don't know I asked the question and need a answer
you hear a sound from the wheel
The way to tell if you have a bad wheel bearing is when you are driving and go into a hard corner. The wheel that is on the inside of the corner stops making a humming noise. I just replaced my Driver Rear bearing on my 2004 VW Gti
hey, im going to be replacing a wheel bearing on a 2001 sentra. I'm doing it at home, and I was just wondering if I would be able to. Because I know that some bearings are pressed in with either a press or using a C-clap. so if anyone could help me out, it would really help me out. Thanks
