Is My Wheel Hub Assembly Or Are My Wheel Bearings Bad?

Well, good question.You can look in the center of your wheels and probably see your wheel hub. Those studs that stick out which you put your wheel on, then screw the lug nuts on? Those are the studs connected to your wheel hub. This important auto part rests between the brake drums and the drive axle.In most vehicles, ABS and speed sensors are located within the hub assembly. Wheel bearings are inside the wheel hub and are the culprits of all that intermittent or constant racket you hear and try to describe to your mechanic.You can tell from this simple description that both the wheel hub and the bearings are critically important. These are key parts of your steering and suspension systems. If you let them become too damaged, it can lead to serious problems. Don’t ignore those sounds in your wheels.
