Frequently Asked Questions
What does a wheel bearing do?
Wheel bearings are small sets of steel balls or rollers housed in a metal ring, allowing your wheels to spin freely with minimal friction. They support the weight of the vehicle and help maintain stable, efficient movement. If they fail, it can affect handling, tyre wear, and overall safety while driving. Essentially, it’s a very important part of your car that you need to take care of so it can take care of you.
What are the signs of a bad wheel bearing?
Common signs include grinding, humming, or rumbling noises (especially when turning), vibrations in the steering wheel, and irregular tyre wear. You might also notice your steering feels off or that your car pulls to one side. These symptoms should be checked out quickly to prevent further damage. The longer you ignore a damaged or worn wheel bearing, the worse it usually gets.
Is it dangerous to drive with a bad wheel bearing?
Yes, it can be. A worn or damaged wheel bearing can lead to wheel wobble, brake issues, and even wheel separation in severe cases. It compromises your control over the vehicle, especially at higher speeds. It’s best to have it inspected and replaced as soon as symptoms appear so that you maintain the safety of your vehicle and everyone inside it.
How long does a wheel bearing replacement take?
At Autospark, our team is pretty fast at most repairs but we also want to make sure that safety and high-quality service remains our priority. Most wheel bearing replacements can be done within 1 to 2 hours, depending on the vehicle’s make and model. Some vehicles with press-fit bearings may take slightly longer due to the extra labour involved. Autospark technicians always work efficiently to ensure both safe and reliable results.
Can a wheel bearing cause tyre wear?
Yes, a faulty wheel bearing can lead to uneven or rapid tyre wear. It may affect wheel alignment or cause additional friction during rotation. Replacing a bad bearing not only improves safety and performance but also helps protect your tyres and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Do I need to replace both wheel bearings at the same time?
Not always. If only one bearing is worn or damaged, we typically replace just that one. However, if your vehicle has high mileage or both sides show signs of wear, we might recommend replacing them together to maintain balance and performance. Our technicians will advise based on your specific case.
