Do You Need to Replace Both Bearings if One is Damaged?
1 Answers
When a car bearing is damaged, it is generally not necessary to replace both bearings at the same time. Here are the relevant details: 1. Bearing Damage: This is usually caused by internal wear or lack of lubrication. The specific fault point can be confirmed through a test drive. If the bearing lubricant has not been lost, it does not need to be replaced regularly within the bearing's lifespan and can be used for its entire service life. 2. How to Determine Bearing Damage: You can try driving for half an hour and then lightly touch the suspected damaged wheel hub area with the back of your hand after getting out of the car. If the bearing is damaged, it will generate significant heat and may even feel hot to the touch.
