Listen for humming, growling, or grinding noises that change with vehicle speed, or notice play in the wheel when jacked up.
What tools do I need to replace a Wheel Bearing Set?
Tools needed: floor jack, axle stands, hub puller, bearing press or large socket and vice (for pressing), hub nut socket (typically 30-36mm), new hub nut, torque wrench, circlip pliers. Difficulty: Professional recommended. Safety warning: A failed wheel bearing can lead to wheel detachment.
