The front wheel should be checked for noise as well as lubrication. Servicing of the front wheel bearing should be done every 30,000 miles. At the time of driving, listen carefully to any sound originating from wheels. Noise originating from the floorboard indicates that the problem is not related to wheel bearing; in fact, it could originate in any other part of the vehicle.

Noise originating from the floorboard indicates that the problem is not related to wheel bearing; in fact, it could originate in any other part of the vehicle.

 

Rear Wheel Bearing Noise

Noise produced by the rear and front wheel bearings is almost the same. In such cases, diagnosing the problem associated with bearing noise can be difficult.
In one of the methods used for diagnosing such kind of noise, the vehicle is driven at a constant speed; slight changes to the speed are occasionally made. It is important that you vary the speed because there are certain cars which make noise only at certain speeds.

The dangers associated with wheel bearing noise shouldn't go undetected. It must be dealt with or repaired at the earliest.

 

While diagnosing the problem of wheel bearing noise, one should check if there are any cracks on the surface of the bearing. Even smaller cracks can later on cause big problems. To detect the minute cracks, one should diagnose the bearing in bright light. Cracked, pitted or worn out bearings should be replaced. The parts which bear the hub bore and spindles should also be checked for any kind of damage. At the time of inspection, one should check if there is any damage caused to the bearing hub bore; its fitting should also be checked. If the bearing hub bore doesn't fit properly, it calls for replacement of the drum or rotor or hub. One should also check whether spindles are aligned properly. In few cases the spindles might not be aligned in a straight line; thus, it becomes necessary to carry out proper diagnosis of the problem. The steering knuckle should be replaced if there is any problem in the operation of spindles.

 

Working of Bearings

A bearing is a machine component which performs the function of constraining the relative motion between moving parts of the machine. The act of constraining the relative motion is aimed at facilitating only a certain kind of motion (differs from machine to machine). The different types of motions permitted by bearings are linear motion, axial rotation, hinge motion and spherical rotation.

 

One should conduct a careful diagnosis of the worn out and damaged parts of the vehicle to determine the exact cause of wheel bearing noise. In some cases, it is not possible to find out the problem on our own. In such instances, consulting an expert should be the right thing to do
