How Many Kilometers to Replace the Rear Wheel Bearing of the Spirior
2 Answers
The replacement of the rear wheel bearing of the Spirior does not have a fixed mileage requirement. It needs to be replaced only when abnormal noise is confirmed during high-speed driving on smooth roads. Below is an introduction to the bearing: 1. The main function of the bearing is to bear the load and provide precise guidance for the rotation of the hub. It bears both axial and radial loads and is a very important component. 2. When hearing noise from the hub bearing area, first locate the source of the noise. There are many moving parts that may produce noise, possibly due to contact between rotating and non-rotating parts. If the noise is confirmed to be from the bearing, the bearing may be damaged and need replacement. 3. Bearings should be installed in a clean and tidy environment. Small particles entering the bearing can shorten its service life. Maintaining a clean environment during bearing replacement is very important. Do not use a hammer to strike the bearing, and ensure the bearing does not fall to the ground. Before installation, inspect the condition of the bearing and the bearing seat. Even minor wear can lead to poor fit, causing early bearing failure. 4. The seal ring of a bearing equipped with an ABS device contains a magnetic thrust ring. This thrust ring must not be subjected to collisions, impacts, or contact with other magnetic fields. Remove it from the packaging before installation and keep it away from magnetic fields, such as those from motors or electric tools. When installing these bearings, observe the ABS warning needle on the dashboard during road condition tests to adjust the bearing's operation.
As a former owner who drove a Honda Spirior for several years, I can share some insights: There's no fixed mileage standard for replacing rear wheel bearings—it truly depends on the specific situation. Honda's official guidelines typically don't set strict rules, but based on my car and discussions with fellow owners, bearings generally require attention after 80,000 to 120,000 kilometers. Why? Urban driving or rough road conditions accelerate wear, often causing bearings to produce a humming noise. Ignoring this warning sign can gradually damage the suspension or brake discs, leading to much costlier repairs. I recommend having technicians check them during bi-annual maintenance, especially by listening for unusual sounds. The Spirior's rear wheel bearings are relatively durable, but early inspection and replacement ensure safety and savings. Stay alert to abnormal noises while driving—don't wait until complete failure to act.
