Wheel Bearing: Testing and Inspection
Front Bearing Diagnosis
The most obvious clue to bearings that need replacing is the presence of noise that occurs only when making a turn. To diagnosis the bearings:
1. Road test the car on a smooth road. Make sharp turns to the right and left.
^ If the car makes noises on right turns, the left bearing probably needs replacement.
^ If the car makes noises on left turns, the right bearing probably needs replacement.
^ If bearing noise is heard on either right or left turns, the hub and bearing assembly on the suspected side should be disassembled and inspected.
2. Raise the front of the vehicle and check for loose front bearings by rocking the tires at top and bottom.

3. Spin the tire quickly by hand and make sure the tire turns smoothly with no abnormal noises from the bearings.
