First sounds of dodgy bearings heard about 150 miles ago. How fast do I need to get replacements?

Depends how long you can live with the constant humming for; they'll run for ages like it.

I've had it both ways, I had a Renault 19 front bearing that hummed for 6 months before I got around to changing it. The current Kia Carens went from a slight niose to "I daren't drive it any further" in less than 100 miles.

Are you sure it is the wheel bearings? I have had cars in the past that have exibited a similar noise with worn tyres, especially on concrete surfaces. Check the the tyre tread depth and if they are worn, you may only need new tyres. Alternatively if one bearing or more are very noisy, it will leave you in no doubt.

Good luck!

I drove a Citroen CX for many many thousands of miles miles with a noisey wheel bearing, eventually it sounded like a tram so I changed it - thought I had gone deaf, was still working OK though.

It could run another 100,000. Or it could leave you stranded tomorrow.

Personally I'd have it changed asap.

Most likely to be a rear bearing.Fortune from Honda ,but available in aftermarket for a lot less.(it is a complete assembly,not just a bearing)

Good Lord Peter.N., following your link i've just looked up the similar complete assembly for Mk 1 Yaris, some years ago a friend had one fail, Toyota wanted around £225 for the part alone, he found one at the local factor for just over £100, now available from similar suppliers to the Jazz hub for £30.

No wonder makers/main dealers don't want people going outside the dealer network.
