What is wheel hub replacement?
A worn or damaged wheel hub can cause noise, play in the wheel and problems with braking or ABS.
The wheel hub holds the wheel and usually contains or supports the wheel bearing. When the hub or its bearing wears, you may hear humming or grinding that changes with speed. Replacing the hub restores a smooth, secure wheel.
Signs you need it
- Humming or grinding that gets louder with speed
- Play or wobble in the wheel
- ABS warning light on
- Uneven tyre wear on one wheel
How it works
- Raise the car and remove the wheel
- Remove brake parts to access the hub
- Fit the new hub assembly
- Refit brakes and test drive
You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.
