wheel bearing

The wheel bearing is a very important part of the automobile wheel. The main function of the wheel bearing is to support the load and provide precise guidance for the rotation of the wheel. It bears both axial load and radial load.

On each wheel, you’ll find the wheel hub assembly between the drive axle and the brake drums or discs. On the brake disc side, the wheel is attached to the bolts of the wheel hub assembly. While on the side of the drive axle, the hub assembly is mounted to the steering knuckle either as a bolt-on or press-in assembly.

It is hard to imagine a car without wheels. Although the engine and transmission are key components of any vehicle transmission system, without wheels, the vehicle cannot roll from one place to another. But in order to have a functional, rolling wheel, you first need a viable hub assembly. Without a viable wheel hub assembly (WHA), the wheels of the vehicle will not function properly, which limits the potential of the vehicle itself.

Some people said, a car is a collection of thousands of carefully-designed parts that are needed their attention to maintain with. When it comes to your wheel hub assemblies, you definitely need to muster your patience and go the extra mile to make sure they're in good working condition; these components are vital in keeping your car safe and efficient.
