The wheels run on double row ball bearings at the front and radial tapered roller bearings at the rear. They are fitted with long-life lubrication and can withstand well over 100,000 km of nougat at the rear axle.
The front wheel bearings attract attention much earlier due to the loud noise. If the noise gets louder when driving on a right curved path, then the left bearing is defective.
Grab the wheels (standing firmly on the ground) from above and try to move them transversely to the car.
If the bearings are perfect, there is practically no play.
If the rear bearings have play, they can be adjusted.
If there is play in the front wheel bearings, have an assistant depress the brake pedal, then recheck.
If the backlash persists, then the reason for this is in the ball joint.
Front wheel bearings cannot be adjusted and must be replaced (see section "Wheel bearing dismantling").
While the machine is raised on the supports, you can still check if the wheels turn easily (is there a noise similar to crushing or sliding).
