What It Is
Wheel bearings let your wheels spin smoothly with very little friction. Modern hub assemblies usually include the bearing, ABS sensor, and mounting flange in one unit.
Why It Matters
A completely failed bearing can lock up the wheel or let it fall off the car at speed.
How to Save Money on Wheel Bearing Replacement
