Vervangingsinterval

Always replace the ABS ring/tone wheel together with the bearing if it is integrated.
Signs of a Failing Wheel Bearing
- Humming or growling neeise 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
Veelgestelde vragen
Which wheel bearing fits VW Golf VII front?
SKF SKF VKBA3561, FAG FAG 713619510, Timken Timken SP550210. Dimensions: 34×72×37 mm.
How do I diagneese a bad wheel bearing on VW Golf VII?
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.
