Default Ok wheel bearings?

So I think my car does have wheel bearing, and if I do how would I know when I would need to replace them?

Is this easy todo?

1992 323 1.6 4cly. standard

If any one knows.


just wondering because my right front wheel and every thing got pretty messed up about 7 months ago and now I am noticing a few problems coming from that area.

Might not be related.

All cars have wheel bearings, they would roll very well without them.... How to service them depends on the type of bearing. I don't know what kind you have.

Do you have any kind of service manual for your car? Even a Haynes or Chilton's would help you out a ton.

The bearings are sealed units. When they need replacing, you will hear a growling noise. It will sound like the big 4X4 trucks with the mud tires on them.

It all depends what type of bearings you have in the front, either a hub asembly or the type where you must remove the steering knuckle and take to a machine shop. the hub assembly is easy to replace where the other type is more labor intensive as the machine shop will use a press to replace the bearing.
