In many vehicles that isn't possible since it's often a sealed wheel bearing. If it's not sealed for YOUR vehicle, it shouldn't be very expensive, not much more than $15 or $20 Ea.

Do rear wheel drive cars have rear wheel bearings?
Yes, all wheels run on wheel bearings. The noise could be a worn or damaged bearing, rust on the brake drum or disk, sticking parking brake, or under-inflated tires. Many garages will do a free brake inspection and they should show you and explain the problem they find if any. Axles have ball bearings pressed on them and grease would be leaking from them if bad. Shocks can be noisy if you have unusual tire wear, cupping. Loose U-joint can be checked if you have the knick knick sound. Of course a dry axle housing causes a lot of noise and broke teeth can stop you from moving. If you suspect it pull inspection cover and see if there is a lot of loose metal pieces in the grease. It isn't unusual to break a gear tooth in the axle. Especially if you heavy trailer a lot.

How do you know when the front wheel bearings need service lubrication or replacement. I have a 96 Windstar. I hear a low humming sound when it moves at slow speed its easier to hear.?
AnswerThat is a sign of a bad wheel bearing. Have them inspected and repacked or replaced if need be. Note: these bearings are sealed and cannot be 'repacked' - like in the old days, or on rear drum brakes.Note #2: the bearings are part of the hub/bearing assembly. An ambitious job, but certainly doable.See "Related Questions" below for more

Need more information. Are you referring to wheel bearings, transmission bearings, differential bearing, etc. Also what type of vehicle is this? If your talking about front wheel bearing on a front wheel drive car, there are no specs or adjustments. Any play means the bearing is bad. Same goes for most 4WD vehicles. Front wheel bearing on a rear wheel drive also should not have play but if they are in good shape, they can be repacked and tightened to spec.

Are the wheel bearings on a Chevrolet Malibu pressed?
There are many dissimilar vehicles vehicles out there called Chevrolet Malibu, and front/rear wheel bearings can be different. Is your Malibu FWD or RWD? If fwd: no. The wheel bearings are ball-in-cage type bearings that are an integral part of the hub-and-bearing assembly which must be replaced as a unit. If rwd: maybe. The front wheel bearings are taper bearings held in place by a nut with cotter pin. The rear rear wheel bearings (axle bearings) are in fact pressed into the axle tube.
