A Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) is essential in keeping your Nissan moving. If it is worn out, your vehicle's wheels will have a challenging time spinning. Using ball bearings, the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) ensures the wheel can spin freely while it stays connected to the axle via the ball joints and tire rod. The ball bearings in the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) allow one side of the wheel hub to spin with the other side remains stationary to keep the wheel attached to the vehicle.
Even though the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) allows the wheel to spin freely, 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 (Rear) and you are a confident at-home mechanic, start by jacking up your vehicle until the tire has cleared the ground. Ensure the vehicle is on a flat, level surface, and chock the wheels on the ground to keep them from rolling while you make the repair. We also recommend visiting your nearest authorized Nissan service center for help.
Begin your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) inspection by placing a hand on either side of the tire and rocking the wheel back and forth. If the wheel moves but the ball joints that connect the wheel to the axle do not move, the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) might be the problem.
You may notice a few symptoms when driving on a damaged or broken Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear). The first thing to notice is some excess noise coming from your tires. A broken or worn out Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) can cause an abnormally loud whirring noise that increases the faster you drive. Second, your vehicle may seem to be pulling to one side while you drive. While this issue could be a sign of other problems, such as wheel misalignment, a worn Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) can also be the source. Last, your tires may be wearing unevenly. Looseness that comes from a bad Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) can cause excess vibrations, leading to rapid or uneven tire wear.
