A Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) is essential in keeping your Nissan moving. Without it, your wheels would have a difficult time turning. Using ball bearings, the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) ensures the wheel can spin freely while it stays connected to the axle via the ball joints and tire rod. As the wheel spins, these ball bearings inside the hub allow one side of the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) to spin with the other side remains stationary to keep the wheel attached to the vehicle.
Although the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) allows the wheel to freely spin, the wheel should not be loose or have any give when rocked back and forth. If you suspect it's time to replace your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) and you are confident in your at-home mechanic skills, start by jacking up your vehicle until the tire has cleared the ground. Ensure your Nissan is parked on a level, flat surface, and chock the wheels on the ground to make sure your Nissan doesn't roll during inspection. We also recommend visiting your nearest authorized Nissan service center for help.
To inspect your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front), start by placing a hand on each side of the tire and try to move it back and forth. If the ball joints connecting the wheel to the axle are difficult to move but the wheel moves when you rock it, you may have an issue with the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front).
