### How do you determine which wheel bearing is bad?

When trying to determine which wheel bearing is bad, there are a few steps you can take. Here's the process you can follow:

1. **Listen for noise:** One of the most common signs of a bad wheel bearing is a loud grinding or humming noise coming from the wheel area. While driving, try to listen for any unusual sounds that get louder as you pick up speed.

2. **Check for play:** Jack up the vehicle and try to wobble the wheel back and forth. If there is excessive play or looseness in the wheel, it could indicate a bad wheel bearing.

3. **Inspect for heat:** After driving for a while, carefully touch each wheel hub to see if one is significantly hotter than the others. A hot wheel hub could be a sign of a malfunctioning wheel bearing.

4. **Use a stethoscope:** A mechanic's stethoscope can help pinpoint the exact location of the noise coming from the wheel bearing. This tool can be used to listen for abnormal sounds while the wheel is spinning.

5. **Check for vibration:** A worn wheel bearing can cause vibration in the steering wheel or the vehicle itself. If you feel excessive vibration while driving, it could be a sign of a bad wheel bearing.

By following these steps, you can accurately determine which wheel bearing is causing trouble and needs to be replaced. Remember to address the issue promptly to avoid further damage to your vehicle.
