Why do wheel bearings go bad?
My mechanic told me my wheel bearings are worn out, but I feel like I’ve taken really good care of my car. Why do wheel bearings go bad?
Melanie Mergen · Updated on

Like most car parts, even with routine care and maintenance, wheel bearings will eventually wear out over time. Here are some common reasons that cause wheel bearings to go bad prematurely:
- Improper alignment
- Damaged or leaking bearing seal
- Driving through deep water, mud, or buildup of other debris
- After impact in a collision
If you think you may be having problems with your wheel bearings, it’s best to have a mechanic look at the problem as soon as possible.
