What noise does a broken bearing make?
1 Answers
A humming sound. Below are specific explanations about damage to the rear wheel bearing of a car: 1. Method to determine if it's damaged: After accelerating the car, let it coast in neutral. If the humming sound remains unchanged, it indicates a damaged rear wheel bearing. 2. Causes of rear wheel bearing damage: Broken or rusted components, entry of foreign objects, or tilting of the roller can cause damage. Prolonged exposure to acidic liquids and moisture can also lead to rusting of components; poor lubrication, if there's insufficient grease between the roller and raceway, dry friction may occur, producing abnormal metallic friction noises; clearance issues, there should be appropriate gaps between car parts, and when the distance between the roller and raceway decreases, it can easily cause friction heat, leading to bearing sintering.
