The Mazda 3 is one of the best compact cars you can find on the market today. It is known for its excellent fuel economy and outstanding performance. As one of Mazda’s flagship vehicles, the model lives up to Mazda’s reputation for producing sporty, efficient, and affordable vehicles.
But no matter how efficient it is, it isn’t uncommon for the Mazda 3 to need repairs as it gets older. If you think your Mazda 3’s wheel bearings are starting to fail, read on to learn more about the symptoms associated with this problem.
What Is a Wheel Bearing?
Wheel bearings are crucial components of your wheel hub assembly. They connect the wheels to the axle and lessen friction to ensure smooth wheel rotation. Wheel bearings are usually held together by a metal ring.
Wheel bearings are typically built to last approximately 85,000 to 100,000 miles. However, there are a lot of factors that may affect their lifespans, such as their quality and operating conditions.
Common Bad Wheel Bearing Symptoms
Here are some of the common symptoms related to faulty wheel bearings:
Growling, humming, or rumbling sounds
Mazda 3 wheel bearing noises that indicate an issue are similar to growling, humming, or rumbling sounds. In some cases, you may also hear a high-pitched sound.
This symptom may not be noticeable if you often drive with your radio turned on. If you suspect that your Mazda 3 wheel bearings are failing, listen for these unusual sounds while you’re driving in silence.
Noticeable vibration in the steering wheel while driving
If you have faulty wheel bearings, the vibration in your steering wheel may change as your vehicle accelerates or as you make a turn. This symptom may also be caused by other faulty components in your suspension system. If you’re not knowledgeable about auto repair, it is best to have your vehicle inspected by a mechanic.
Uneven tire wear
It’s normal for your tires to wear out over time. However, it’s a different case if the tire is not evenly worn out. Loose bearings can cause your suspension to misalign, leading to uneven tire wear. This symptom is also associated with other faulty suspension components. Take your vehicle to an auto repair shop for an accurate diagnosis.
Vehicle pulls to one side when the brakes are pressed
Faulty bearings may cause abnormal side pull when braking, which can make driving dangerous. However, like some of the other symptoms on this list, this symptom is also exhibited by other failing brake components. You may need expert assistance to determine if your wheel bearings are at fault.
How Much Is a Mazda 3 Wheel Bearing Replacement?
Mazda 3 wheel bearing replacements cost around $50 to $250, depending on the brand you prefer. They are sold individually and in sets. Make sure to check product specifications first before deciding on anything to ensure compatibility with your vehicle.
