Any of you had a wheel bearing lock up?

400 miles is a long way to go and get stranded...I wouldn't risk it.

^^ a few members on here have experienced it.

OP: I rode around for a year with mine making all kinds of noise. It never seized up. I would say it would be better to fix it, but i wouldn't say its a must.

Never heard of one actually locking.

its not common for them to seize up, but they will get VERY hot and infuse them selves to the trailing arm. then you'll need a new trailing arm, instead of just a wheel bearing.

I'm leaving for a road trip on Friday (400 mile round trip) and I have loud humming in the rear when turning left. I can replace it when I get back but for now I'm concerned that It could lock up on me on the highway. How many of you have had wheel bearings lock up on you?
