wheel bearing problems?

My front left wheel bearing is going out, i think. It has a quiet high pitch noise at low speeds. Its only at low speeds because its so quiet and thats the only time I can hear it, and only with the windows down.

If it is the wheel bearing, what happens if i just ignore it? My struts are already shot and wondering if this is something i should get done at the same time.

A write up for changing your wheel bearing.

If your changing out your struts this is the best time to do the wheel bearind also as you'll be in the same area anyway and have to take apart similar parts. Do your struts and wheel bearing at the same time save yourself extra work.


Do not ignore it, your WHEEL BEARING is going bad, anything going bad on my car involving my wheels I wouldnt wait to repair.

I agree, it looks very serious, but I believe he fixed his old bearings I believe you could just buy new wheel bearings and not have to try and get out the old ones and repack in the new ones.

hopefully someone who has changed their wheel bearings can jump in on this.
