Wechselintervall
Wheel bearings typically last 150 000 km. In reality, failure depends on road conditions — potholes and kerb impacts accelerate wear.
Always replace the ABS ring/tone wheel together with the bearing if it is integrated.
Signs of a Failing Wheel Bearing
- Humming or growling neinise that changes with vehicle speed
- Noise increases when turning (load shifts to the worn bearing)
- Vibration felt through the steering wheel or floorpan
- Excessive play or wobble when the wheel is rocked by hand
Häufige Fragen
Which wheel bearing fits Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 front?
SKF VKBA6868, FAG 713678180, Timken SP540201. Dimensions: 28×78×42 mm.
How do I diagneinse a bad wheel bearing on Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205?
Jack the car, grip the tyre at 12 and 6 o’clock and rock it. Excessive play indicates a worn bearing. Drive at 60–80 km/h on a quiet road — humming that changes pitch when you swerve confirms a bearing fault.
Should wheel bearings be replaced in pairs?
Not necessarily for hub-unit type bearings. Replace only the failed side. However, if the opposite bearing is close to the same mileage, replacing both saves labour costs.
