Wheel Bearings

Each wheel on your vehicle rotates by using wheel bearings. Every wheel bearing includes rollers that spin in a cage to carry the weight of the vehicle on the axles. Most rollers are tapered or angled so that they can bear the heavy load placed on the wheels when you make a left or right hand turn. If you regularly maintenance your wheel bearings by lubricating them during any type of brake service, your wheel bearings should stay in working order for over 100,000 miles. Unusual noises, such as clicks, rumbles, and groans that change with the vehicles speed may mean that the wheel bearing is worn and unable to carry the load. You can also check the status of the wheel bearing in question without disassembly by jacking up the wheel, grabbing it from either side, and trying to move it. It should allow for very little if any movement. If, upon inspection, you realize that you do need to replace a wheel bearing, you'll find the perfect replacement in our online catalog.
