How to Determine if the Thrust Bearing is Faulty?

[Ricardo]

Methods to determine if the thrust bearing is faulty: 1. When turning the steering wheel in place, there will be abnormal noises from the front shock absorber, usually clicking or squeaking sounds; 2. There will also be abnormal noises from the front shock absorber when starting the car; 3. In severe cases, you may feel obvious steering wheel vibrations; 4. While driving, you may notice that the noise from one wheel or a specific tire is particularly noticeable. The thrust bearing carries part of the vehicle's weight, and the vibrations generated during driving will impact the thrust bearing through the suspension. Therefore, it is advisable to choose roads with good conditions while driving and try to avoid potholes or stones on the road.
