Worn wheel bearings

[Civic6656]

Need advise on how to self check if wheel bearing is worn. I've replaced a new set of tires but the woot woot noise persist. Very irritating...

 

Also thinking of replacing front brake rotors as the steering wheel vibrates when depressing brake to slow down... Or do I have to replace rear rotors as well?

 

Do I need to send the car for wheel alignment after doing the above repairs/replacements?

Btw my car mileage is 135kkm and has not done replace the above arts before.

 

Thanks!

Jack up the car and spin the free wheel.

worned bearing should emit a notso smooth and low grinding sound under rotation.

 

Need not change rear wheel rotor and no re alignment required

U need to cfm which wheel bearings r worn. Like what was said, raise wheel n spin fr rumbling sound n if u hold wheel n rock it there wil b some loose play.

 

Brake discs chk 1st. Maybe just dirty or can skim. If only front brakes got prob no need to do e rear brakes.

 

U sud do e 4 wheel computerised alignment to make sure all settings r back to factory specs.

I've just jacked up my car on each wheel but found no excessive freeplay with the wheel bearings by spinning the wheels and push pull method. The only freeplay is the 2 front wheels during spinning. But as the driveshaft is connected to the gearbox, I think it's the freeplay of the gears. I held on to the driveshaft while spinning the front wheels on neutral gear...

 

Any other suggestion? Thanks.

By the way, I've replaced 2 sets of brand new tires already within 3kkm.

Bros, sorry to hijack this, but what about humming noise when you reach a certain speed, and the sound will go away once you pass this certain speed!

I am hearing this irritating sound from the rear at 40-60 kmh... But after 60 kmh the sound disappear.. Any bros experience this before? Other than the sound, every thIng else is ok.. Except notice FC is a little high!

Is this also due to worn bearing? If yes, normally how much would it cost to change?

Do enlighten us the tyres you changed into. .

What tyre are you on?

Rear is on Kenda Radial, made in china and front is on yoko earth! Could this be the reason for the rear noise and the slight vibration?

Never thot it could be the tyres coz it's new from dealer!

Front is Bridgestone and rear Michelin. Don't think so it's due to tires cos 2 sets also same phenomenon.
