Accepted Answer

To ensure that you get the correct wheel bearing(s), it is best to check the size and shape of the one currently installed so you can compare with the listed bearings. Determining the correct wheel bearing type is essential. Relevant information for selecting the correct item is displayed below in our specifications. As car manufacturers regularly update certain peripherals and design of their models, some wheel bearings will only be suitable for particular models of certain years as they often have variations listed based on PR codes - (you can usually find your build sticker containing your cars PR codes in the boot, near the spare wheel).

Question 4

Helpful Tips

Accepted Answer

It can be difficult for the average driver to tell when a wheel bearing starts to fail. Even seasoned mechanics can find it tricky as the sound can echo through the car. An indication that your wheel bearing might be failing is from an emitted whirring or droning sound, the longer it's left, the louder it becomes. It may also be accompanied by a slight vibration. We recommend having your bearings checked once any faults are suspected. Although, they're constructed of very strong steel and are highly durable, a terminal failure could result in a wheel lock at speed, which would put you and your passengers’ safety at risk.
