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.

Saab 9-3 L4-2.0L Turbo - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Winchester, Massachusetts
When it comes to experiences with a mechanic, this has been the absolute best and most pleasureful $$$ I've ever spent. I do not trust people under the hood of my cars but hands down I wouldn't hesitate to call this mechanic to do anything for me. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to GM cars even ones made in Finland such as my Saab. We had a dialogue about potential issues and problems that he could find with this particular car and he gave me honest feedback about this purchase. Upon inspecting the car he found absolutely nothing wrong with it and he was honest very thorough and addressed every concern that would have been a deal breaker for this purchase. Unfortunately I am NOT from the Massachusetts area but if I were he would be the only person I would recommend to put his hands under the hood of my car. Thanks for everything that you have done and you have made my car buying experience easier.

Saab 9-5 L4-2.3L Turbo - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Fremont, California
Teamed up with yourmechanic.com to check out a used car I was interested in. Mr. Pardeep Singh was assigned to the pre-purchase inspection. Mr. Singh checked in before the inspection and reported back after. (I was unable to attend in person). Gave me a general overview of the condition of the car. Based on his evaluation I forego buying the car, which saved me money on travel expenses,taking time off and additional costs for repairs. Mr Singh performed an excellent job and I would recommend to keep him and yourmechanic.com in general in mind when shopping for a car
