Is there a strange noise emanating from your Daf vehicle? Have you checked the wheel bearing recently?

The noise that a wheel bearing makes when the wheel bearing is broken or damaged is a rotating noise which will gradually get louder with time and with increased speed. At first the noise will be faint, but within a month you won’t fail to be able to notice it. The only way to fix a damaged or broken wheel bearing is to replace it.

Wheel bearings are used on all kinds of vehicles and they all perform the same job, they allow the wheels to spin freely. Most wheel bearings are constructed of hardened steel and can withstand most things, except heat and water. Bearings are protected from the elements and water by a non-penetrable seal. If this seal breaks or becomes damaged, then the wheel bearing will fail and begin to sound a noise.
