How Do I Know If My Front Vw Wheel Bearing Needs Replacement?
A worn front Vw wheel bearing or front Vw 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, front Vw wheel bearing repair is inevitable.
Loud front Vw wheel bearing noise can be tested as follows:
As you drive your Vw 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 front Vw wheel bearing.
How to figure out which Vw wheel bearing is making noise can be tested as follows:
After achieving a speed where the howling noise increases, load either the drivers or passengers side of the vehicle. For instance, when turning your Vw around a right hand corner your 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 Vw wheel bearing. You can also try swerving your Vw from left to right in a safe area and under safe conditions. Doing this in an empty parking lot can help determine which Vw wheel bearing is worn. If the side that the load is on makes an increased howling noise on the loaded side, this confirms that Vw wheel bearing replacement is necessary. If you're still having a difficult time determining which side the Vw wheel bearing noise is coming from, it may be necessary to replace both the drivers side and passenger side Vw wheel bearing or Vw wheel bearing hub assembly.

What Is Critical In Order To Avoid Front Vw Wheel Bearing Failure And Contribute To The Long Life Of A Vw Wheel Bearing?
Proper installation is the single most critical characteristic to long front Vw wheel bearing life. Premature wheel bearing defect 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 front Vw wheel bearing grease. It is critical that a front Vw wheel bearing be packed with the proper grease that can handle these two extremes. Environmental factors, such as, road spray (especially salt laden), dust, and dirt can effect the front Vw wheel bearing seal. An front Vw wheel bearings seal should made with high quality material that is impervious to these conditions. You'll receive nothing but the very best in high quality manufactured front Vw wheel bearing parts from BLAUfergnugen!

All of our wheel bearing kits are manufactured with great precision to handle the Vw chassis load, are packed with improved high quality grease, consist of extremely durable seal material, and include the appropriate grade and plated hardware.
