How Do I Know If My Rear Audi Wheel Bearing Needs Replacement?

A worn rear Audi wheel bearing or rear Audi wheel bearing hub has a specific symptom. A loud humming noise. When this loud humming noise begins to come from the front or rear wheel area, rear Audi wheel bearing repair is inevitable.

Loud rear Audi wheel bearing noise can be tested as follows:
As you drive your Audi at a slower speed (25-35 mph) you'll hear a deep humming or howling noise. As you increase your speed (55-65 mph) the noise will change to a high pitch whining. This change in pitch indicates that you have a bad rear Audi wheel bearing.

How to figure out which Audi wheel bearing is making noise can be tested as follows:
After achieving a speed where the howling noise increases, load either the driver or passenger side of the vehicle. For instance, when turning your Audi around a right hand corner you're loading the vehicle weight onto the left hand side. Listen for the wheel bearing noise to increase and try to determine if it is coming from the front or rear Audi wheel bearing. You can also try swerving your Audi from left to right in a safe area and under safe conditions. Doing this in an empty parking lot can help determine which Audi wheel bearing is worn. If the side that the load is on makes an increased howling noise, this confirms that Audi wheel bearing replacement is necessary. If you're still having a difficult time determining which side the Audi wheel bearing noise is coming from, it may be necessary to replace both the drivers side and passenger side Audi wheel bearing or Audi wheel bearing hub assembly.

What Is critical In Order To Avoid Rear Audi Wheel Bearing Failure And Contribute To The Long Life Of An Audi Wheel Bearing?

Proper installation is the single most critical factor to a long rear Audi wheel bearing life. Premature wheel bearing failure is caused by incorrect alignment while pressing the bearing into the housing. If incorrect pressure points are used, the misaligned bearing cage will cause premature failure. These mistakes can be made even by the most competent mechanics.

Certain wheel bearings may not be large enough to carry the particular load of your vehicle chassis and may prematurely fail due to this overload. Too, extreme hot climates and extreme cold climates can effect the viscosity of the rear Audi wheel bearing grease. It is critical that a rear Audi wheel bearing be packed with the proper grease in order to handle these two extremes. Environmental factors, such as, road spray (especially salt laden), dust, and dirt can effect the rear Audi wheel bearing seal. Audi wheel bearing seals should be constructed of high quality material that is impervious to these conditions.
