Still Hearing a Rear Noise After a Wheel Bearing Fix?

Still Hearing a Rear Noise After a Wheel Bearing Fix?

What the customer reported

The vehicle owner said the vehicle needed wheel bearings and asked the shop to check and advise.

What we found and did

The technician verified that part of the problem was the wheel bearings: the passenger rear wheel bearing was worn and catching. Our Lake Wales shop performed the passenger rear wheel bearing service, with a retest and road test as part of the process. The technician also found that another noise still existed because of the rear differential, and the vehicle owner understood that noise would remain and may get worse until it is resolved. Metal in the fluid, worn spider gears and a bad smell were noted, and the rear differential was recommended but not done on this visit.

FAQ

Wheel Bearing Replacement in Lake Wales: questions answered

Answered by our technicians serving Lake Wales.

Is it safe to keep driving with a noisy wheel bearing?

Early on, a quiet hum is not an emergency, and we're not going to tell you the wheel is about to fall off. What we will tell you is that the repair gets more expensive the longer it runs, because heat damages the hub and the knuckle around it. Once you can feel it as well as hear it, get it in.

Can you tell which wheel it is without taking things apart?

Usually. A road test with lane changes narrows it down, and on the lift we spin each wheel and check for roughness and play. Between those two we can normally name the corner before we quote it.

Do wheel bearings need to be replaced in pairs?

No. Bearings fail individually, often because of one impact or one bad seal, so we replace the one that's actually bad. If the other side is also rough we'll show you why and let you decide, but we won't sell you two on principle.

Can a bad bearing cause a vibration?

It can, though a vibration that changes with speed is more often tires, wheels or balance. If shaking is your main complaint rather than noise, the vibration diagnosis route is the better starting point, because we'd rather find the cause than replace a bearing and leave the shake.
