The Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) on your Nissan is crucial to keeping your vehicle 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 through the tire rod and ball joints. As the wheel spins, these ball bearings inside the hub allow one side of the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) to spin while the other side stays stationary to keep the wheel attached to the vehicle.
While your vehicle's Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) does allow the wheel to spin, the wheel should not be loose or have any give when rocked back and forth. If you believe your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) needs to be replaced and you have the tools and skills for the job, start by jacking up your vehicle until the tire has cleared the ground. Make sure your vehicle is on a flat and level surface, and chock the wheels on the ground to make sure your Nissan doesn't roll during inspection. If you're uncertain about replacing your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front), visit your closest Nissan service center for assistance.
