Symptoms of Worn Wheel Hub Bearings

Introduction

• Wheel bearing comes in a pair of inner and
  outer bearings.
• The wheel bearing of your car has to support
  the entire weight of your vehicle while
  travelling through rough terrains.
• It also bears the edgeways forces of corners
  you take.
• It also allows your wheel to spin at thousands
  of revolutions per minute.
• Wheel bearings dont have a constant supply of
  oil to lubricate and cool them.

Snapping /Clicking

• This is an indication of a worn or broken outer
  CV-joint.
• It also indicates excessive bearing endplay.
• It is generally related to inadequate clamping
• Youll hear this clicking and snapping sound
  when turning corners or taking sharp turns.

Clunking

• This sound indicates damage or excessive
  functioning in the CV or U-joints.
• It is also the result of backlash in the
  differential gear.
• This sound has less to do with bearing and
  more to do with the shifting from changing
  direction.

  in motion.
• This indicates mechanical damage in a vehicles
  wheel system.
