What sound does a bad wheel hub bearing make?
1 Answers
When a wheel hub bearing is damaged, it generally produces noise, and the sound becomes louder as the speed increases. Below are specific details about wheel hub bearings: 1. Front wheel bearing: The front wheel bearing is located in the car's front wheel. If the front wheel bearing is damaged but not severely, it will produce a loud humming noise while driving, which is different from tire noise. 2. Other symptoms: After driving for about half an hour, lightly touch the suspected damaged wheel hub area with the back of your hand. If the bearing is damaged, it will generate significant heat, likely feeling hot to the touch. This differs from normal operating temperature, and replacement is recommended.
