Compare Hyundai I10 wheel bearing replacement quotes from specialist garages

Innovation and reliability are at the heart of the Hyundai brand, and the i10 certainly reflects these values. It's a sharply styled subcompact city car that delivers a comfortable and quiet ride with a class-leading infotainment system.

These positive attributes have earned the i10 numerous titles, including 'City Car of the Year' 2023 at the Auto Express New Car Awards, 'Most Highly Rated Car of the Year' at the 2018 Honest John Awards, and 'Best City Car' for the fourth consecutive year at the 2017 WhatCar? Awards. Top speeds typically range from 90 to 110 mph. There are few common problems with the i10, but watch for worn brakes and clutches in used models.

A wheel bearing is made of a set of steel balls (ball bearings) or tapers (taper bearings) held together by a metal ring. It connects the wheel to the axle and allows it to rotate smoothly.

A wheel bearing replacement is required every 80,000 to 100,000 miles. The most obvious sign of a faulty wheel bearing is a grinding noise when the vehicle moves, which gets louder as it accelerates or turns. You may also notice a clunking noise that happens on uneven road surfaces.

Drivers often wonder whether it's possible to book a wheel bearing repair instead of a replacement. Unfortunately, the bearing is a sealed unit, so the only option is to replace it. Most garages offer wheel bearing services, so you don't need to worry about finding a specialist.

A typical wheel bearing replacement cost is between £150 and £300, depending on the type of car.
