Here are some other symptoms of a bad wheel bearing:
* A grinding or humming noise when the car is in motion
* The car pulls to one side when braking
* The steering wheel vibrates when the car is in motion
* The tire may appear to be leaning in or out
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to have the wheel bearings checked by a qualified mechanic. Driving with a bad wheel bearing can be dangerous, as it can cause the wheel to lock up or break off.
