These basically allow your wheels to spin smoothly. They’re a pretty simple design – little steel balls inside a race – but they do a big job. They handle both the weight of the vehicle and the force from turning and going over bumps. They let the wheel rotate with as little friction as possible. Think of it like this: the wheel bearing sits right where the wheel connects to the axle. It's the part that lets the wheel spin freely around that axle. Without a good wheel bearing, the wheel would be locked up or really rough going. It’s a critical part of the suspension system, working along with shocks and struts. A failing wheel bearing can cause a lot of problems. You’ll notice if one goes bad usually with a humming or growling sound that gets louder as you speed up. Sometimes it sounds like it's coming from the tires themselves. Eventually, it can cause vibrations in the steering wheel, and it will definitely affect how the car handles. Left unchecked, it can even cause the wheel to lock up while driving, which obviously isn't good. They’re wear items, meaning they will eventually need replacing just from normal use. You can often find a good replacement online, places like Fixparts Online have a pretty decent selection. Don’t put it off if you suspect a problem, it’s a safety issue.
