When it comes to keeping your Nissan moving, a functioning Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) is essential. If it's worn out or damaged, the wheels will have a hard time spinning. The Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) utilizes ball bearings to keep the wheel spinning freely while it stays connected to the axle through the tire rod and ball joints. The ball bearings inside the wheel 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.
Even though the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) allows the wheel to spin freely, the wheel shouldn't be loose or have any give when the tire is rocked back and forth. If you suspect it's time to replace your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) and you have the tools and skills for the job, begin by jacking your Nissan up until the tire is no longer touching the ground. Ensure the vehicle is on a flat, 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.
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).
Driving on a broken Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) can cause a few things to happen. First, you might note that the tires sound louder than normal while driving. When a Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) is bad or wearing out, it may cause a loud whirring noise that gets louder as you drive faster. Second, you may notice your vehicle pulling to one side while you drive. While this pulling issue can be a sign of other problems, such as bad wheel alignment, a worn Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) can also be the source. Last, your tires may be wearing unevenly. Looseness that comes from a bad Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) can cause excess vibrations, leading to rapid or uneven tire wear.
