What is cleaning and repacking the wheel bearings all about?

A car’s wheels rotate on tapered-roller bearings which fit between the stationary axle spindle and the rotating wheel’s hub/brake mechanism. There are bearings on the inner and outer side of the hub to properly support the wheel. These are greased when installed, but the grease can, and does, break down over time, allowing dry contact between the various elements. When left unattended, this will lead to wear and, ultimately, to bearing failure.

Keep in mind:

  • Since noise is the first symptom of metal-to-metal contact, it’s likely that damage has already occurred, and that bearing replacement may be necessary.
  • The job will require the removal of the wheel and brake assembly, so it might be advisable to inspect the brake pads, steering tie rods and suspension pieces in the process.
  • If you’re going to do one wheel, it’s only logical that you should also do the other side.

How it's done:

  • The vehicle is raised and supported on jack stands
  • The front or rear wheels, brakes and hubs are removed from the vehicle
  • The front or rear wheel hubs, bearings are cleaned and greased then install a new grease seal in hub
  • The front or rear wheels, brakes and hubs are installed back on the vehicle
  • The vehicle is lowered off of the jack stands

Our recommendation:

Consider having this job done when your vehicle reaches high mileage, particularly if it has been operated with heavy loads or on unusually bumpy roads.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to clean and repack the wheel bearings?

  • Any noise noticeable from the wheels. It can start as a squeal, and then develop into a growl or even a grinding sound.

How important is this service?

A catastrophic wheel bearing failure can lead to the wheel coming off the car. Obviously, that could cause an accident or, at the very least, serious damage to the vehicle. It’s certainly worth discussing with one of our mechanics.

Mazda Protege5 L4-2.0L - Clutch Slave Cylinder - San Jose, California
EJ was very patient, I hung around and he explained how the dysfunctional parts were effecting the clutch of my car. Before beginning the removal of my old clutch master/slave cylinders he performed a diagnostic to ensure that the service I booked was what my car needed. EJ has very good bedside manner and was genuinely a nice person to be around. Once again a great experience with Your Mechanic, I will continue to use the web site and service for future repairs.

Mazda Protege5 L4-2.0L - Engine or Transmission Mount Replacement - San Antonio, Texas
Having the 1st mechanic stand me up I was apprehensive on the outcome of the second scheduled apt. I've had my faith restored in this program thanks to Isai who showed up early ready to do the job which was done in my driveway for over have the price quoted from pep boys and the convenience is what sold me also. He discovered that the original bid from pep boys stated I needed 4 motor mounts and Isai was forthright telling me only two needed to be replaced. An honest mechanic is a rare commodity these days so Isai is who I will be requesting from here on out for all my vehicles needs.
