- 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. 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 firmly attached to the axle on your Nissan 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, start by jacking up your Nissan until the tire clears the ground. Make sure your vehicle is on a flat and level surface, and put chocks behind the other wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling away during the repair. 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, there may be a problem with the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front).
You may notice a few symptoms when driving on a damaged or broken Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front). First, you may notice your tires are louder than usual while driving. A broken or worn out Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) can cause a strange whirring sound that gets louder as you accelerate. 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 bad wheel alignment, a damaged Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) can also be the reason. Last, check your tire tread for uneven tread wear. Uneven or rapid tire wear can occur when a bad Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) causes tire pressure to be unevenly distributed.
