If you hear a sound like playing cards flapping on a bicycle you’re likely to need new wheel bearings. The sound will start faint and increase in intensity over time.
Typically you should have your wheel bearings checked and maintained every 40,000-50,000kms. How long will depend on your driving style and the terrain you drive on. The harsher the conditions the more often they’ll need attention.
Common signs include abnormal tyre wear, grinding or roaring noise from the tyre area, vibration in the steering wheel, and play in the wheels. All of these signs indicate you need to replace your wheel bearings.
We recommend you drive as little as possible as you will start to wear down the tyres costing you even more. The sooner you can get them replaced the better.
When a wheel bearing corrodes and needs replacing you car may feel like it’s pulling you to one side. Pull in your steering is either a sign of failed or worn wheel bearings or it could mean you need a wheel alignment. Either way you will need it looked at before you wear out your tyres as well.
