McGrath Acura Wheel Bearing Service

Repairing or Replacing Your Wheel Bearings

Wheel bearings can affect the way a vehicle steers as well as negatively affecting tire tread, usually on one side. Grinding noises are a good indication that the wheel bearing may be bad.

Other effects of bad wheel bearings can be noticed in the steering wheel vibrating and the vehicle may "pull" to one side. If you have noticed any of these events, having a trained technician thoroughly inspect your vehicle can save money from larger issues and also, simply for the sake of safety.

What happens if I don't have my wheel bearings replaced?

Failure of the wheel bearing may not be noticed right away as it can develop over time. Sometimes, a big impact like hitting a curb or pothole may be enough to cause bearings to fail. Warning signs like wobbling and grinding noises can be indicators that something is wrong. If left unchecked, it can lead to a seriously unsafe driving situation where the wheel and tire assembly separate from the axle.

If this were to happen, loss of control of your vehicle could occur causing injury or worse. If there are any warning signs, it is best to discontinue driving and get your vehicle inspected. A complete diagnostic from trained technicians will identify if one or more wheel bearings need replacement.
