Wheel Hubs and Bearings for Hyundai Santa Fe

Wheel bearings and hubs are essential components of any car, including your Hyundai Santa Fe. They allow the wheels of your vehicle to turn without unnecessary rubbing, which could cause damage. Because the wheels of your Hyundai are in motion whenever the car is in use, your bearings and hubs will occasionally need maintenance or replacement.

You should always choose wheel bearings that are designed to work with a Hyundai Santa Fe. However, you should also know that specific wheel hubs go with either front or rear wheels, and plan accordingly. Also, some hubs have extra features that may provide a performance boost to your Santa Fe.

• Some hubs have speed sensor arrays that can detect the rate of rotation.
• Rear wheel hubs often support the suspension network.
• While you need to ensure that the bearing assembly you purchase will fit your Hyundai Santa Fe, many types of wheel bearings will work across multiple Hyundai models.

Because bearings or hubs are components that work in tandem with the wheels, they wear down over time, and you need to find replacement wheel hub assemblies for your vehicle. It is essential to know some of the most common signs that your wheel hubs have gone bad so you know when to find replacement components.

• Noises such as clicking, snapping, or popping are a classic sign that a wheel hub may need some maintenance. These noises may indicate a worn CV joint or inadequate clamping on the Hyundai.
• If you hear grinding when operating the vehicle, particularly if you are braking, it means that one or more of the bearings has lost integrity and needs to be replaced.
• Knocking or clunking when you change directions during steering can indicate excessive play in the U joints or CV joints.
• While vibration is most often associated with a worn tire, it can relate to ineffectual hubs and other components as well. In these cases, it means a bearing has suffered severe damage or lug nuts do not have the proper torque.

There are two main types of wheel hub assembly. They come in either a ball type configuration or a roller type configuration that ends in a taper. Angular ball bearings will accept greater thrust loads and so are used most often in applications where the front wheel bearings share the bulk of the load. The tapered roller bearings, however, accept fair amounts of both thrust and radial loads.
