Over time, heavy towing, hitting potholes, or water ingress past the seals can cause the internal grease to dry up, leading to metal-on-metal pitting. A failing rear bearing is easily identified by a speed-dependent humming or \"airplane-like\" roaring noise coming from the rear seats. If ignored, the friction can generate enough heat to fuse the bearing to the rear axle shaft. Replacement requires a hydraulic press or a heavy-duty B90 sub-frame puller tool to press the old bearing out of the wheel carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVehicle Compatibility:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" id=\"p-rc_58a4dc71b8954f16-136\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eX3 (F25):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-183 citation-end-183\"\u003e 2011–2017 (sDrive28i, xDrive20d, xDrive28d, xDrive28i, xDrive35i)\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"2\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\" id=\"p-rc_58a4dc71b8954f16-137\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eX4 (F26):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-182 citation-end-182\"\u003e 2015–2018 (xDrive28i, xDrive35i, M40i)\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"3\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e Rear Axle (Left or Right)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Angular Contact Ball Bearing\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReplacement Part for: 33406787015\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BMW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48194440462575,"sku":"33406787015","price":900.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/7183\/5631\/files\/2014-F25-X3-Rear-Wheel-Bearing.png?v=1774357799","url":"https:\/\/myty.co.za\/products\/rear-wheel-bearing-unit-bmw-x3-x4-f25-f26","provider":"MYTY Auto Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
