When must the wheel hub be replaced?
Wheel bearings are one of the most safety-relevant components in the wheel suspension area. They are subjected to high and very enormous forces. The VAICO experts explain why and when a wheel bearing must be replaced.
Available languages:
Wheel bearings are divided into different versions – there are versions with and without a wheel hub included. A defective wheel bearing can be seen on a loud and metallic roller. If this noise is noticed, the experts of VAICO recommend that you visit a workshop, because only with an intact wheel bearing can the safety during driving be ensured. A faulty wheel bearing may expose the ABS, which may result in the braking distance being extended or the steering of the vehicle being restricted.
