Wheel Bearing Replacement Service

WHEN AND WHY IT HAS TO BE CONDUCTED

There isn't a set time to replace wheel bearings as it depends on the style and conditions the vehicle sees on a regular basis. Usually, as the bearing wears down it will begin to make groaning noises and as it gets worse it can make a rough feeling when driving the car, perhaps an odd vibration. Such symptoms will start when turning corners, as they get worse they will become more noticeable and more constant. Once the symptoms are noticeable, it's time to conduct the job as the distraction can be a safety hazard and it's only going to get worse over time.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF IT ISN'T PERFORMED

If the bearing isn't replaced, theoretically the wheel could fall off. No, it's not going to fall off the body of the car and roll down the street as portrayed in movies. However, it can come loose from the axle and damage other parts around the wheel and axle, and the force could potentially damage the other wheels, frame, or suspension. In reality, the damage is going to occur long before it gets to that point, and if the vehicle will drive at all, it will be too uncomfortable to use. Like other car repairs, at that point other parts will be damaged meaning the repairs are going to be much more expensive than if the work had been conducted when needed rather than waiting for a catastrophic failure.

FINDING A DEALERSHIP TO PERFORM THE WORK

Although any talented mechanic can replace a wheel bearing, it's important to remember a dealership technician is going to be aware of any nuances specific to your make and model, use the proper replacement parts for the vehicle, and in most cases warranty the work.
