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.

Lincoln Navigator V8-5.4L - Shift Selector Cable - Denver, Colorado

Robert was friendly and made it clear what other parts i needed. Originally it was my shifter cable but I found out my steering column was busted.. So now given the knowledge and the resources i can now go about getting that taken care of and I can't thank Robert enough for the insight on the situation

Lincoln MKZ V6-3.5L - Blend Air Door Actuator (Passanger) - Plano, Texas

Hello! This was my first time using YourMechanic and I am so impressed. I was having issues with my A/C only blowing cool on one side. I live in Texas and it's the middle of August and not having full A/C was a real concern. I travel a lot for work so the timing was worrisome. I didn't have time to drop my car at the dealership, hope to get a loaner and if not, worry about how to get to and from work for several days. The website and customer service was great but most of all, I was so impressed by my mechanic Jacob k. Smith. He is professional, knowledgeable and SO NICE! You can tell he really cares about his job and providing the best service possible. He really made an impact with me. He knew exactly what to fix, came to my office and did the repair in the parking lot while I was still able to work. He even explained and showed me exactly what he was doing, which was kind of cool. Jacob changed out the Blend Air Door Actuator in no time and it ended up being less than the original quote! I will be using YourMechanic moving forward and hopefully I can request Jacob! HE IS AWESOME! I will definitely be recommending YourMechanic and Jacob!
