A wheel bearing sits in the hub and lets the wheel turn with very little friction. When it wears, it can hum or grind, and the noise usually rises with speed. Call 07961 404768 — tell us your registration and we will check which bearings fit your car.
What a wheel bearing does
Every wheel turns on a bearing in the hub. The bearing carries the car's weight while letting the wheel spin freely, with very little friction. It is a sealed unit on most modern cars — the bearing and the hub are made as one part, and the whole unit is replaced when it wears.
A bearing that is wearing can hum, grind or rumble, and the noise usually rises with speed and changes when you steer. A bearing that has failed badly can make the wheel feel loose, and driving on it is not something to do — if the noise is getting worse, describe it when you call and we will point you at the right bearing.
How to find the right wheel bearings
Which wheel bearings fit comes down to the car and the corner — front or rear, left or right. Tell us the registration when you call about your wheel bearing. Or tell us the make, model, year and engine, and which corner the noise is coming from.
If you hear a hum that rises with speed, the wheel bearings are one of the parts to look at — the guide below explains what the sound commonly means and how to narrow down which corner it comes from.
Related suspension parts
Wheel bearings work with the shock absorbers and the rest of the suspension. A knock over bumps commonly points at the suspension instead — the absorber page below explains what a shock absorber does and how to check fitment.
