What Are the Symptoms of a Bad Front Wheel Bearing?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a bad front wheel bearing are: 1. A 'squeaking' sound when turning the steering wheel while stationary or at low speeds, with severe cases causing noticeable steering wheel vibration; 2. Noticeably increased tire noise while driving, with severe cases producing a 'humming' sound; 3. A 'thumping' sound when driving on bumpy roads or over speed bumps; 4. Vehicle pulling to one side. The main functions of the bearing are to bear weight and provide precise guidance for the rotation of the wheel hub. It withstands both axial and radial loads, making it a crucial component. In traditional automobiles, wheel bearings consist of two sets of tapered roller bearings or ball bearings combined. The installation, greasing, sealing, and adjustment of bearing clearance are all performed on the automobile production line.
