Reasons to Have Noisy and Damaged Wheel Bearing
2
The wheel bearings are an essential part of the
wheels of your car.
3
Wheel bearings are basically a group of balls
which are attached to a metal ring which are
located inside of the wheel hub.
4
The wheel hub is the hollow metal area in the
middle of the wheel and the tires are bolted onto
the wheel hub.
5
Gradually, the wheel bearings get worn out due
to the immense stress involved when the wheels
rotate on the road.
6
Here are some of the common reasons for the
damaged and noisy wheel bearings in your car.
- Uneven roads
- Waterlogged streets
- Poor installation
- Unbalanced tires
- Car accident
7
Uneven roads
8
There is more pressure on your wheel bearings
while driving over uneven roads and terrain which
leads to premature damages.
9
Eventually, the steel balls of the bearings will
develop small damaged areas and other
imperfections which will limit their ability to
reduce friction for the wheels.
10
Waterlogged streets
11
Wheel bearings have a tough time dealing with
water because while driving on a flooded street,
the seals wont be able to prevent water from
entering into the bearings.
12
The main reason for the damage to the bearings is
the lubricant which is usually a petroleum-based
lubricant that doesnt mix well with water.
13
Poor Installation
14
If you just recently had new wheel bearings
installed and youre already noticing strange
noises and other problems, then it must mean that
your wheel bearings were not installed properly.
15
In such a case, either the mechanic was
negligent, or they did not install the wheel
bearings to the manufacturers specifications.
16
Unbalanced tires
17
Part of any good car maintenance routine is to
get your tires balanced or else, certain wheel
bearings will endure more pressure and stress
than other wheel bearings.
18
This will cause them to wear out faster and
become noisy and damaged.
19
Car accident
20
In case of a car accident which has damaged
your wheels, then the wheel bearings may have
been impacted too.
21
This could easily cause them to be damaged to the
point where theyre malfunctioning and creating
all those strange noises.
