About the Part

Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front).

• Keeps your wheel spinning freely while firmly attached
• Essential to keeping your vehicle moving
• If broken, may lead to looseness, excessive noise, and vehicle pulling to one side

When it comes to keeping your Nissan moving, a functioning Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) is essential. Without it, your wheels would have a difficult time turning. Your vehicle's Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) uses ball bearings to keep the wheel freely spinning while it stays connected to the axle via the tire rod and ball joints. The ball bearings in the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) allow one side of the wheel hub to spin with the other side remains stationary to keep the wheel attached to the vehicle.

Even though the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) allows the wheel to spin freely, the wheel should not be loose or have any give when rocked back and forth. If you think it's time to replace your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) and you are a confident at-home mechanic, start by jacking up your Nissan until the tire clears the ground. Make sure your vehicle is on a flat and level surface, and put chocks behind the other wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling away during the repair. If you're uncertain about replacing your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front), visit your closest Nissan service center for assistance.

Begin your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) inspection by placing a hand on either side of the tire and rocking the wheel back and forth. If the wheel moves but the ball joints that connect the wheel to the axle do not move, you may have an issue with the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front).

Driving with a damaged or broken Wheel Bearing and Hub (Front) may cause a few things to happen. First, you may notice your tires are louder than usual while driving.
