My wheel bearing or not?

[Ghost]

i have a 2000 corolla.......my question is it is normal for the frony hubs.....on both sides to get really hot......eg hot to the touch.....i don't have any noises, but the ride is rather harsh and not that smooth anymore?.....don't think its my rotors either......no shimmy when breaking?

[michael9413]

Please that is cause by the hot air from the DISC brake that you are using it during braking... The disc is so so so hot until can fry some eggs

[Ghost]

so than why would my steel rim be so so hot that you can burn yourself on?

[BLUEMEANIE]

yup it all gets hot with normal use. When your bearings go bad you'll be able to wiggle the hub in the spindle and when they get really bad you'll see lines or grooves in your rotor from the pad.

Really... hmmmm.... learn something

Ghost jack your car up and shake the tyre...
I think i should be able to test the type is shaking or not...
i think if the bearing is no good it will rattle a bit

[Ghost]

check the tire......looks secure.....however, when you try to spin the tire in the front it doesn't want to......eg only makes about 1 revolution before it stops?......is that normal?......its like that on both sides, but the drivers side stops faster........not getting any noises from bearings.....Could warped rotors be causing this???......b/c when its hot and i hit my brakes the steering wheel shimmies a bit, but not a lot

[BLUEMEANIE]

Sounds like your rotors just need to be turned.

Change it maybe...
Rotor Problems or drive shaft...
