Worse When Turning– Wheel bearing noise will often get worse when you turn. This effectively changes the wheel alignment repeatedly as you turn, accelerate, and brake. As the bearing wears down, it will allow the tire to move in directions it never was meant to. This noise should be coming from the wheel or tire area.Įxtra Play– Does your Aura’s steering feel as it should? If you have a bad wheel bearing, it could feel different. Noises– The most consistent sound that a bad wheel bearing is going to make is a low pitched grinding sound. Tires that are misaligned and have been allowed to wear unevenly can also cause a noise that is very similar to wheel bearing noise as well.
See Saturn Aura brakes grinding for more info if you think this may be the problem.
Most of the time, there’ll still be a light grind even when you aren’t braking. If your brakes have worn to the point that they are grinding, you’ll feel a miserable grind when you hit them. It’s basically them begging to be replaced. When your brakes have worn really far they can start to make a squeaking sound. The question is whether or not that noise is wheel bearings or something else. It’ll also cause the tires to wear unevenly (usually on the inside).Īny noise from a vehicle is bad news. A bad wheel bearing can put stress on other components and they can begin to fail. If you do have a bad bearing, replacing it is important. That’s why it is important to know the other warning signs of a bad bearing before just going in and replacing it. There are several different vehicular components that can make a squeal or hum. If your Saturn Aura is making a high pitched noise or hum, it could be a sign of a bad wheel bearing.
