►For your Golf R to keep rolling, you must replace your failing wheel bearings with healthy ones. The wheel bearings allow each wheel to rotate smoothly, but their positioning in the wheel assembly means they're constantly subjected to sharp, aggressive strikes and high thermal loads. Those conditions will eventually cause the wheel bearing to wear and require replacement. As that happens, you'll feel and hear the bearing creating a strong vibration and a loud howl at highway speeds.
Follow along with this DIY as Mike Hidalgo walks you through a rear wheel bearing replacement on a Mk7 VW Golf R.
