Also called a wheel hub bearing, hub assembly, wheel hub unit or hub and bearing assembly, the wheel hub assembly is a crucial part of your steering system contributing to the safe steering and handling of your vehicle.
How to tell when your hub bearings are bad
- Listen for a grinding noise coming from your tires or wheel area.
- The car feels loose when you drive, and it isn’t as responsive when you steer.
- Your car pulls to one side on its own.
- Uneven wear on your tires even though you rotate them regularly.
