How can i tell i need to replace my wheel bearings:
It is very difficult for the average driver to tell when a wheel bearing starts to fail. The noise it makes starts out quietly, though the longer it’s left, the louder it becomes. It’s best described as a whirring, droning sound in the distance when the car is on the move and the faster you drive the louder it should become. It may also be accompanied by a slight vibration
Are Wheel bearing problems important:
Wheel bearings are a very important safety item of a car. A failing bearing usually starts with a humming sound. However, if wear leads to excessive play, stability may be endangered.
