Common Questions

What does a bad wheel bearing sound like?

A worn wheel bearing typically makes a grinding, humming, or rumbling noise that changes with vehicle speed. The noise may get louder when turning in one direction. If you hear this, have it inspected immediately — a failed bearing can cause a wheel to separate from the vehicle.

Is it safe to drive with a bad wheel bearing?

No. A failing wheel bearing is a serious safety hazard. It can cause loss of steering control and in severe cases, wheel separation. We recommend getting it inspected and replaced as soon as possible.

How long does wheel bearing replacement take?

Most wheel bearing replacements take 1.5–3 hours depending on the vehicle and which bearing needs replacement. We offer same-day service at our Royal Oak shop.

Do I need to replace wheel bearings in pairs?

Not always. Unlike brake pads, wheel bearings do not need to be replaced in pairs unless both are showing wear. Our technicians will inspect all four corners and recommend only what is necessary.
