Should Truck Wheel Bearings Be Replaced All at Once?

Truck wheel bearings should generally be replaced in pairs on the same axle, even if only one has failed. This ensures balanced wear, prevents future breakdowns, and minimizes repair downtime. For high-mileage or fleet vehicles, replacing all wheel bearings during scheduled service enhances long-term safety and cost-efficiency.
