What is wheel bearing replacement?
A worn wheel bearing is replaced to stop humming noises and keep the wheel secure.
Wheel bearings let wheels spin smoothly. Worn bearings hum or grind and get louder with speed, and badly worn bearings can let the wheel wobble.
Signs you need it
- Humming that rises with speed
- Grinding noise
- Play in the wheel
- ABS light on
How it works
- Identify the noisy bearing
- Remove hub or press out bearing
- Fit the new bearing
- Test drive
You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.

Why it matters
Important: failed bearings are a safety risk and fail a WOF.
