- Keeps your wheel spinning freely while firmly attached
- Essential to keeping your vehicle moving
- If broken, may lead to looseness, excessive noise, and vehicle pulling to one side
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. Using ball bearings, the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) ensures the wheel can spin freely while it stays attached to your Nissan's axle via 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 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 think 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. Make sure your vehicle is on a flat and level surface, and chock the wheels on the ground to keep them from rolling while you make the repair. If you're uncertain about replacing your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front), visit your closest Nissan service center for assistance.
Inspect your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) by putting a hand on both sides of the wheel and rocking it back and forth. If the wheel moves but the ball joints that connect the wheel to the axle do not move, 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. The first thing to notice is some excess noise coming from your tires. If your vehicle has a broken or damaged Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front), it can cause a strange whirring sound that gets louder as you drive faster. Second, your vehicle may seem to be 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, check your tire tread for uneven tread wear. Looseness that comes from a bad Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) can cause excess vibrations, leading to rapid or uneven tire wear.
