Research on Wheel Hub for BMW 325i

Your BMW 325i wheel hub is the largest part of the assembly that connects to the drive shaft and attaches to the brake rotor, just inside of the wheel and tire. Inside the hub is housed a set of bearings. When your front wheel bearing is failing, you can hear a distinct noise if you drive more than 10-20 miles an hour. It sounds like metal grinding against metal. Upon inspection, if the wheel hub and bearings are worn, loose, or leaking then it is most often necessary to do BMW e46 front wheel bearing hub replacement.

When the Bearings go Bad.

The wheel hub is responsible for the main support of the wheel and tire. The hub has a set of greased bearings in it. If these bearings go bad, then you will hear some e46 wheel bearing symptoms like a wheel bearing noise. This assembly is the major contributing part for you to have a smooth and quiet ride down the street. An additional point is that it is important to tighten the axle nut to the proper torque. Using an impact gun to tighten the axle nut after a BMW e90 wheel bearing replacement can be a mistake and can cause repeated downtime for your vehicle, for the same problem. To get some help with the replacement to avoid unnecessary time spent you can get the help from an online video.

Another Source

Another source of excellent guidance is a forum specifically for BMW owners. The forum is generally made up of mechanics and people that do the repairs themselves and post the details of the replacement online to help others in the same situation. Often you can find someone doing the exact same repair or replacement. In the case of the wheel bearings, you may find someone that posted some of the sticking points or difficult parts of the replacement. These can save you time and headaches because they point out in advance what to expect and what tools to use, for example, a BMW rear wheel bearing removal tool or a 46mm socket.
