Car Fix DIY Videos

►Without wheel bearings, your car wouldn’t roll. They allow each wheel to rotate smoothly, but their positioning in the wheel assembly means they’re constantly subjected to sharp, aggressive strikes and high thermal loads. A wheel bearing replacement is the only way to avoid the headaches that comes with having worn ones. When the bearing starts to fail, you’ll feel and hear it creating a strong vibration and a loud howl at highway speeds. If left for long enough, the bearing will seize and lead to some catastrophic consequences.

Follow along with this DIY as Mike Hidalgo walks you through a rear wheel bearing replacement on a Mk7 VW Golf R.
