How Many Kilometers Should a Car Drive Before Replacing Bearings?
1 Answers
There is no fixed mileage for replacing car bearings. If the bearings are not damaged, there is no need to replace them. They should last at least 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. If undamaged, they can be used for the lifetime of the vehicle. When bearings are worn, there will be a noticeable humming sound while driving, which the owner can easily detect. Replacement can be done at that time. Bearing inspection involves the following steps: 1. To check the tightness of the hub bearing, lift the axle of the wheel being inspected using a jack stand, wheel chocks, or other safety equipment to securely raise the vehicle; 2. Rotate the wheel being inspected by hand several times to check for smooth rotation and any abnormal noises; 3. Perform a brake inspection.
