hi.. what kind of sound do the wheel bearings make when they are going bad? or how can you tell if they are going bad?

 

Sometimes when our bearings go bad they cause the ABS, Brake, or Trac off lights to come on, but not always.


One easy check is to jack up the suspect wheel, and grab it at the top and bottom. Then pull and push on the top and bottom. If the wheel will rock, your bearing is probably going bad.

 

LETS APPROACH IT THIS WAY . DESCRIBE YOUR PROBLEM , IS IT COMING FROM THE FRONT OR REAR OF THE CAR. DOES IT MAKE MORE NOISE WHEN YOU TURN OR WHEN YOU STOP OR WHEN YOU START? DOES IT HAVE THE NOISE MORE WHEN YOU ARE IN CLOSE CITY DRIVING ( CLOSE BUILDINGS ). HOW MANY MILES ON YOUR CAR AND HAS IT BEEN CHECK BY A MECHANIC?
