How do you know which hub bearing is bad?

I have that problem right now. What I did was ascertain through hearing and feel that it was one of the front bearings. As a general rule--you never replace just one bearing. Either the two front or the two rear. Short of actually removing each bearing, this is your only option--unless you want to pay the bucks for a crackerjack mechanic; and if you do take bearings out--you never replace with the same old bearing--always new. Bad wheel bearings usually make noise. Try to listed to where the noise comes from.


Why does a cv joint make a clicking noise after being damaged?

Inside the joint are large ball bearings that give the shaft flexiblility. Either the needle bearings inside of each ball are damaged or the ball itself is. In either case, the ball will not ride smooth in the hub and cause a clicking. A clicking axle can be run for a while, but it will at some point break or come apart. It should be change as soon as possible.
