What sound does a bad wheel bearing make?
1 Answers
Sounds of a damaged wheel bearing: 1. Squeaking noise: When turning the steering wheel while stationary or at low speeds, a "squeak... squeak" sound is emitted, and in severe cases, steering wheel vibration can be felt. 2. Humming noise: While driving, tire noise becomes significantly louder, and in severe cases, a "hum... hum" sound can be heard. 3. Thumping noise: When driving on bumpy roads or over speed bumps, a "thump... thump" sound can be heard. The following is an introduction to wheel bearings: 1. Definition of wheel bearings: These are components used at the vehicle axle to bear weight and provide precise guidance for the rotation of the wheel hub. They withstand both axial and radial loads and are an important part of the vehicle's load-bearing and rotation. 2. Composition and installation of wheel bearings: Traditional automotive 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.
