Research on Wheel Hub for Chevrolet Tahoe

The wheel hub is an auto part which is responsible for keeping the wheel attached to the car and also for keeping the wheel spinning freely. A good quality wheel hub will allow for the vehicle to carry heavier loads, will help in keeping the wheel functioning smoothly in rough terrain and also in extreme weather conditions. Most importantly, the wheel hub is also integral in ensuring safe operation of the vehicle. The wheel hub supports the lugs of a car and also houses greased wheel bearings.

How Could My Wheel Hub Assembly Have Gone Bad?

Any Chevy Tahoe wheel bearing noise could be an indication of worn out wheel bearings which will need to replaced. Wheel hubs can go bad because of worn out wheel bearings or under lubricated wheel bearings. Worn out wheel bearings are usually the culprit which leads to the whole wheel hub assembly becoming faulty.

A tell-tale symptom of a worn out wheel hub is if you can hear a grinding noise when the vehicle is in motion. This indicates a mechanically damaged wheel hub or one that is being used beyond its years. The noise is generally amplified during turns or when there is a change in load.

How Can I Replace the Wheel Hub On My Chevrolet Tahoe?

Wheel Hub replacement is something that you can do yourself provided that you have the right tools for the job. Chevy Tahoe wheel bearing replacement includes jacking the front of the car off of the ground, removing the lug nuts and wheel, unscrewing off the caliper bolts behind the caliper, taking off the caliper itself while taking care not to hit the brake hose in the process, removing the brake pads if required, taking off the brake rotor, unwiring the wiring going to the bearings, taking the bolts off the bearing itself, taking the backing plate off (it is a good idea to clean it before putting the backing plate back in place), putting the backing plate back on and then finally attaching the new front wheel hub bearing onto the plate.

It might seem like a lot, but there are several YouTube videos that you can watch to become a little more familiar and comfortable with the process. You will save on labor costs by doing it yourself, but we suggest not compromising on the quality of the replacement wheel hub itself.
