Wheel bearing noise in the Chevy Cruze manifests as a distinctive whine, hum or grinding sound especially while turning and is caused by worn metal parts. Turning, accelerating and braking will be compromised as the hub assembly is allowed to move around, causing misalignment and uneven tire wear. The Cruze's steering may feel loose and grinding noises may get louder with increased speeds. A technician will diagnose by raising the car on a jack or lift to examine the tire and hub. If the wheel is loose or the grinding noise can be reproduced by turning it, the bearings need to be replaced. The cost for a Chevy Cruze wheel bearing replacement ranges from $320-$450 in parts and labor.
