How Long Does a Wheel Hub Assembly Last?

The wheels that are on a vehicle are vital in its overall level of functionality. There are a variety of things that help to make this part of a car run, namely the wheel hub assembly and the wheel bearings. The hub assembly helps to make sure that the wheels of the vehicle turn as they should without any issues. There are a number of different things that can compromise the overall functionality that the wheel assemblies have. The hub assemblies will usually have bearings in them that can wear out over time. When the car is ran, the hub assemblies will have to work to ensure that the wheels turn as they should.

The wheel hub assemblies on a car are intended to last for about 100,000 miles. While this can happen, there are usually things that will happen before this milestone hits that will compromise the assemblies and the way they function. The last thing that you want to do is to drive a car that has worn out hub assemblies due to the damage that it can cause. As soon as you start to notice that there is an issue with the hub assemblies on a car, you will need to take the time to get the right repairs done.

Attempting to do this type of repair without the right level of experience, will usually lead to even more problems with the car. The best way to get the right work done to a car is by seeking out a reputable and knowledgeable auto repair professional. These professionals will be able to find and fix the issues that a car is having in no time at all.

When there are issues with a wheel hub assembly, here are some of the things that you will notice:

  • Lot of screeching from the front wheel of the vehicle
  • The steering is very loose
  • There is uneven braking on a regular basis

The longer that you drive with damaged wheel hub assemblies, the harder you will find it to maintain the full functionality of the vehicle. Having a professional repair or replace the wheel hubs is the best way to ensure that the work is done the right way.

Kia Optima L4-2.4L - Wheel Hub Assembly Replacement (Driver Side Front) - Nashville, Tennessee
Saw that you folks have many good mechanics but I wanted James because he is really old (just kidding). I wanted him because he has worked on cars for many years and I knew that he would be good and I was not let down. I really liked the fact that I knew that I could trust him after a very short amount of time. I see right through BS and there was none of that. He knew his stuff but did not try to throw smoke and mirrors at me. Did not try to be a know it all and if either of us had a bit of question or doubt about something he was very open and did not try to come off as superior or try to snow me. I am three months into a relearn about modern automobiles (I'm 76) and I bought a $450 scan tool. I completely replaced all vacuum hoses on this 2013 Kia, replaced the throttle body, removed the intake manifold and manually cleaned the intake valves. Also replaced the catalytic converter. Car runs like new. I discussed what I did with James and he approved of the stuff I did and gave me free and honest additional advice. When I go to the Kia dealership they act very "cagey" and distant. They deliberatly try to keep a wall between us. However the parts perople are a husband and wife team that are so sweet that it seems like I am in an old general store. That is the same vibe I get from James. I am much older than my wife and I will pass long before her. I have told her that she should stick with "Your Mechanic" when I am gone. I will also be using your fine tuned company in the near and distant future. I hope your other mechanics around middle Tn. are as good. Chris Harris, Nashville. Feel free to use my full name.
