Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about wheel bearing and hub assembly replacement
You'll typically notice a humming or grinding noise that gets louder when turning, or feel vibration in the steering wheel or brake pedal. Some vehicles also show uneven tire wear or a feeling of looseness at the wheel. If you're experiencing any of these signs, it's worth having the bearing checked—catching it early prevents more expensive damage to your hub assembly.
We remove the wheel, brake components, and the old bearing using our specialized press equipment—this ensures safe, damage-free removal. The new bearing is then pressed into place with proper torque specifications, and we verify everything's aligned correctly before reassembly. The whole job usually takes 2–3 hours depending on your vehicle's specific setup.
We can replace one side or both—it really depends on what your vehicle needs. If only one bearing is worn, we'll replace just that one. However, if both sides show similar wear, we often recommend replacing both together to maintain even braking and handling.
Sometimes we can replace just the bearing and seals while keeping the hub. Other times, if the hub races are damaged or worn, we'll replace the entire assembly. We inspect everything during removal and give you a clear recommendation before we proceed—no surprises.
Cost varies depending on your vehicle model, whether it's a single bearing or hub assembly, and if both sides need work. We'll give you a detailed quote once we've inspected your vehicle—no hidden fees. Most jobs run between €150–400 per side, including parts and labor.
We check alignment as part of our standard service to make sure everything's straight and even. A full alignment adjustment depends on your vehicle's condition, but we'll let you know if it's needed when you pick up your car.
