Wheel Bearing Replacement for Mitcham drivers.

Same quality as every other customer.

Humming that changes with steering

A rhythmic hum that shifts in pitch when you move the steering wheel slightly is the most reliable sign of a worn wheel bearing.

Pressed or bolt-on type confirmed before quoting

Pressed bearings require a hydraulic press and more labour time. Bolt-on hub assemblies are quicker. We confirm which type your vehicle has before providing a quote.

ABS ring condition checked

The ABS speed sensor ring is built into most modern wheel bearings. A worn bearing can trigger an ABS warning light. A new bearing resolves both.

Front and rear bearings

Front bearings carry more load from braking and cornering and tend to wear first. Rear bearings on driven axles also take significant punishment.

Road test confirms the diagnosis

We always test drive before starting a bearing diagnosis to characterise the noise accurately, and again after replacement to confirm it is gone.

All makes and models

Pressed bearing designs requiring a hydraulic press, and bolt-on hub assemblies across all makes.

A wheel bearing allows the wheel hub to spin smoothly on the axle with minimal friction and no play. Modern bearings are sealed units designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle under normal conditions. Pothole impacts, kerb strikes and high mileage can all shorten that lifespan. At KITH Cars Garage in Hackbridge, wheel bearing replacement is carried out at the medium rate of £72 per hour.

The noise that alerts most customers is a low rhythmic hum or drone that increases with vehicle speed. It is easy to mistake for tyre noise, particularly on coarser road surfaces. The test that separates the two is a gentle steering input at 50 to 60 mph on an empty road. If the noise changes noticeably when weight transfers from one side to the other, the bearing is the likely cause. Tyre noise does not respond to steering input in the same way.

Common questions

Is it safe to drive with a worn wheel bearing?

Mildly noisy, probably. A bearing that is loud and has been for some time is a different matter. A failed bearing can cause wheel wobble or, in extreme cases, collapse under load. Get it checked.

Can I replace just one wheel bearing?

Yes, each is replaced individually. If one has worn out at a specific mileage, the one on the opposite side is often close behind.

How long does the job take?

Around 1.5 to 2 hours for most pressed bearings. Bolt-on hub assemblies are usually a little quicker.
