WHEEL BEARING / MWH0036

A wheel bearing is a crucial component in a vehicle’s wheel assembly. It enables smooth rotation of the wheel while supporting the weight of the vehicle. Wheel bearings are typically located inside the hub assembly, allowing the wheel to rotate freely with minimal friction.The primary function of a wheel bearing is to enable the wheel to rotate smoothly while supporting the weight of the vehicle. It handles both radial and axial loads generated during driving.Wheel bearings consist of an outer race, an inner race, steel balls or rollers, a cage to hold the balls/rollers in place, and lubrication. The inner race is mounted on the axle shaft, while the outer race is mounted in the wheel hub or spindle assembly.tapered roller bearings and ball bearings. Tapered roller bearings are commonly used in rear-wheel-drive vehicles and trucks, while ball bearings are prevalent in front-wheel-drive cars.Wheel bearings are subject to wear and tear over time, and they may eventually fail. Common signs of a worn or failing wheel bearing include grinding or humming noises from the wheel area, excessive play or looseness in the wheel, vibration, uneven tire wear, and steering instability.When a wheel bearing is worn or fails, it is necessary to replace it. In most cases, the entire wheel hub assembly is replaced because the wheel bearing is integrated into it. Replacing the entire assembly saves time and ensures proper installation. Wheel bearings are typically sealed and lubricated for life, requiring no regular maintenance. However, harsh driving conditions, such as excessive heat or contamination, can accelerate wear. It’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule and inspect the wheel bearings if any symptoms of wear or failure arise. It’s important to consult a qualified mechanic or refer to the vehicle’s specific service manual for accurate information and guidance on wheel bearing maintenance and replacement procedures.
