What is a wheel bearing?
The component that joins the wheel to the axle, known as the wheel assembly, is the wheel bearing. A metal ring holds a group of steel balls (ball bearings) or taper (tapered bearings) together. It makes it possible for the wheel to spin easily and with little resistance.
What happens when wheel bearings fail?
If your wheel bearing breaks, the wheel may stop while you are driving or perhaps come off entirely. It’s very important to keep an eye on these and keep them maintained because, at the least, a failing wheel bearing can/will cause severe damage to your car before a wheel falls off.

How long will a noisy wheel bearing last?
Wheel bearing durability is difficult to predict because a variety of other elements can have a significant impact. However, a wheel bearing can typically endure between 136 000km and 160 000km.
