Introduction to Wheel Bearings & Hubs for the Volkswagen Phaeton
The Volkswagen Phaeton is a testament to luxury and engineering precision. Ensuring that every component of your Phaeton is functioning optimally is key to maintaining its superior performance. Among these crucial components are the wheel bearings and hubs, which play a vital role in the smooth operation of the vehicle's transmission and overall driving dynamics.
Importance of Wheel Bearings & Hubs in Your Phaeton
Wheel bearings and hubs are integral to the Volkswagen Phaeton's suspension system. They allow for smooth rotation of the wheels, reducing friction, and ensuring that your vehicle maintains contact with the road. Over time, these parts can wear out or become damaged, leading to a decrease in performance and potentially compromising the safety of your vehicle. It's essential to keep an eye on the condition of your wheel bearings and hubs and replace them when necessary.
Signs of Wheel Bearing & Hub Wear in the Volkswagen Phaeton
There are several indicators that the wheel bearings and hubs of your Volkswagen Phaeton may need attention. These include unusual noises such as grinding or humming coming from the wheels, uneven tire wear, or a loose feeling in the steering wheel. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's advisable to have your Phaeton inspected by a professional to determine if your wheel bearings and hubs require replacement.
Choosing the Right Wheel Bearings & Hubs for Your Phaeton

Wheel Bearings & Hubs
Find wheel hubs and wheel bearings here at GSF Car Parts. Wheel bearings and wheel hubs need to be strong enough to take on the impact of your driving.

What is a Wheel Bearing?
Wheel bearings are crucial for your driving experience. You'll find the wheel bearing in the wheel assembly system that connects the axle to the wheel. It can either be a set of ball bearings or tapered bearings, housed in a metal ring. It allows the wheel to rotate with a minimum of friction, smoothly and freely.
They are engineered to be durable as they take a lot of stress from the acceleration, braking, and cornering of the car.
Why do Wheel Bearings Fail?
Wheel bearings can fail due to many reasons. You'll notice noises like humming, grinding or rumbling coming from the wheel bearing area and your steering might vibrate and feel loose.
Here is a selection of the most common reasons why wheel bearings fail:
- General wear and tear - Wheel bearings will eventually wear out and should be replaced between 85,000 to 100,000 miles
- Driving impact damage - Driving over potholes, speed bumps, and curbs can all damage the wheel bearing and reduce its lifespan
- Poor installation - A wheel bearing that has been fitted incorrectly or a secondhand one has been used can cause them to fail prematurely
- Modifications on your car - If you've had wider or larger rims fitted, stiffer shock absorbers and springs can put more pressure on the wheel bearings making them fail quicker
- Road pollution - If you have poorly fitted or cheap wheel bearings installed, road pollution such as water, dust, grit, and other road surface contaminants can get into the wheel bearings and cause irreparable damage
Can you Drive a Car with Wheel Bearing Issues?
You can drive for a little while with failing wheel bearings but it is essential for driving performance and safety that you get them changed as soon as possible either by yourself or at your local garage.
What does a Wheel Bearing Sound like when It's Failing?
You'll notice noises like humming, grinding or rumbling coming from the wheel bearing area and your steering might vibrate and be loose. In some cases, your ABS braking system might get damaged.
What is a Hub on a Wheel?
The wheel hub assembly houses the wheel bearings, designed to attach your wheel to your car and is a primary component allowing the wheel to turn freely.
Can you Drive with a Broken Wheel Hub?
No, it's dangerous to drive with a broken wheel hub. It might cause the wheel to stop suddenly. Not only causing a considerable amount of damage to your vehicle but cause an accident.
