As the title really, two new bolt on captured bearing assemblies on the front and wondering if it needs re-balancing and the other thing they do to wheels (tracking?). The knuckles didn't come off, just the actual bearing assembly so nothing's really moved.

Thanks

In reply to Sharp:

Standard wheel balancing not required. They used to do balancing with the wheel on the car & if thats what you want then yes get it done. Highly unlikely now days.

Tracking would only need doing if it was done whilst the wheel bearing was seriously bad & fitting the new one has taken up the play so affecting the tracking. Again highly unlikely.

In reply to Sharp:

Should be fine unless of course one of the reasons why the bearings went was due to the tracking being off and sideways loading the bearing.

I can't understand any reason why the wheel balance would be out unless they accidentally dislodged a wheel weight while doing the job.

In reply to all:

Thanks for the advice, sounds like I don't need them doing but will keep an eye on tread wear.
