Wheel bearings are an important part of your car, truck, or SUV. The wheel bearings are inside the one-piece hub assembly located between the drive axle and the brake disc or drums. This hub also incorporates the ABS wheel speed sensor and mounting flange. The bearings are tightly packed in a grease-filled, waterproof, sealed metal ring called a race, which is located inside the hub of each wheel. Wheel bearings are what allow the wheels to spin and are engineered to support the weight of the vehicle. Knowing the average life of wheel bearings, while keeping up to date with routine maintenance, can save you from expensive repairs in the future.
