When a car hub (normally called a wheel hub) is faulty the roller bearings and races inside are deteriorating. What is usually noticed first is a grinding or rumbling sound that did not used to be there. To diagnose a vehicle one must listen to it's normal sounds so as to be able to distinguish changes. In the case of a front wheel hub a vibration may be felt through the steering wheel. The grinding will get worse fast and is dangerous to drive because the wheel could come off. Repairs should be made as soon as possible.
