If we drive with a bad wheel bearing, it can be very dangerous. The bearings can cause a severe problem if they malfunction. As we said before, extreme heat can be caused by friction, and this can cause a sudden seize of the bearing, causing the wheel to get blocked at whatever speed we are driving at that moment. There is a risk of an accident if we don’t take care of this issue.
But how to diagnose a bad wheel bearing while driving?
Now let's take a look into which symptoms we need to be aware of when driving to be able to recognize when a wheel bearing has expired:
First, Noise. This is the most obvious one. If the wheel bearing is in bad shape, we will hear a grinding sound regardless of the speed we are driving at. The noise will speed up at the same rhythm that the car does and it gets louder or quieter when cornering, depending on whether the cornering inner or outer wheel bearing is defective. If you hear this, chances are you have a bad wheel bearing.
Second,Car looseness. This one is also very clear and logical, the bearing is allocated between mechanisms that work very tight, if the bearing gets worn out, then, all the systems will get loose and you will feel the car.
Third,Heat. If the car wheel bearing is worn out, it will obviously not be able to work correctly, therefore, friction will cause a very intense heat that will be flagrant when we drive our car to a stop.
Fourth,Steering wheel pulling. Also, this friction we were talking about before causes one worn-out bearing wheel to roll braked. This will cause the car to slowly pull towards the side without you trying to do so.
Therefore, the best and most recommended way to check the wheel bearings is to have a professional check it for you, they will have the necessary knowledge and equipment to do it correctly.
