When wheel bearings begin to fail, you will normally experience symptoms of a squeaking or grinding noise, often accompanied by slight vibration in your steering wheel. Once your diagnosis is complete, we recommend replacing as soon as possible to prevent damage to your hub or steering issues. We offer OE brands and Genuine BMW wheel bearings, to ensure that you donaEURtmt have to do the job twice.
If your wheel bearing is seized in the knuckle, finding a suitable replacement from a junkyard or other source can be extremely difficult. The quality of a part from such sources is questionable and may fail prematurely and may be bent from a previous accident. Make sure you purchase a part you know is in good condition and get your suspension back in quality condition.

Wheel bearings are a crucial component that enables smooth rotation of the wheel hub. It's a set of steel balls (or rollers) enclosed by a metal ring known as a race. The wheel bearing is located within the wheel hub assembly and is lubricated to reduce friction and wear. Your wheel bearing may need to be replaced if you notice a humming, grinding, clicking, or squealing noise coming from your wheel. Replacing a worn or damaged wheel bearing is crucial for maintaining the safety and performance of your vehicle. A failing wheel bearing can lead to excessive vibration, poor handling, uneven tire wear, and even loss of control, especially at higher speeds. If you notice any signs of a failing wheel bearing, such as unusual noise or vibration, it's essential to have it inspected and replaced to prevent further damage and ensure the safe operation of your BMW.

Wheel bearings can need to be replaced for a number of reasons, the most common being normal wear. If the wheel turns with a gritty feel or there is a loud metal-to-metal noise while driving, the bearing has likely failed. A simple way to check your bearing is to lift the wheel off the ground and try to move the tire back and forth, by pushing the top and bottom of the tire in. If there is play, this commonly means the wheel bearing has failed. Changing bearings in pairs is always a good idea; when one side fails, it's not uncommon for the other side to follow suit.
