6Q0598611 Audi Wheel Bearing

Basically, a wheel bearing lets your wheel spin freely while providing support for the weight of the vehicle. It’s a pretty simple idea, but it has to be really reliable. It's made up of these hardened steel balls or rollers—sometimes tapered, sometimes not—that ride on races, allowing smooth rotation. It takes all that weight and all that turning force and turns it into easy movement. Think of it as part of the connection between your suspension and the wheel itself. The hub assembly—which includes the bearing—is what the wheel bolts directly onto. It’s a critical part of your suspension and steering systems. It’s not something you can really see working, it’s all hidden inside the hub, but it’s constantly doing its job. It essentially acts like a shield, protecting the other components from wear and tear while allowing the wheel to turn. If a wheel bearing goes bad, you’ll notice it. You’ll generally hear a humming or growling noise that changes with your speed, especially when turning. Sometimes it sounds like a bad tire. Left unchecked, it can get progressively worse and cause vibrations. A really bad bearing can even cause the wheel to wobble or lock up, which is obviously a serious safety issue. They take a lot of stress, especially on rough roads, so they eventually wear out. If you're doing brakes or suspension work, it’s smart to inspect them. Fixparts Online has a good selection of these if you need one, and they’ll have all the different types to fit your vehicle. Getting it replaced early on will save you a lot of trouble and expense down the road. Shop with confidence: Wheel Bearing (MPN 6Q0598611) comes with a 12-month warranty!
