It is best to avoid driving with a bad wheel bearing for any length of time. Doing so could have severe consequences for the drive-axle and steering assembly, as well as, for your safety.

A wheel bearing is an important part of a vehicle’s braking, steering, and suspension systems. It is the component that connects the wheel to the axle and allows the wheel to turn. A wheel bearing is a set of steel ball bearings or tapers that are tightly packed in a grease-filled metal ring. They are engineered to support the entire weight of the vehicle and enable the wheel to rotate smoothly with minimum friction.

SKF supplies almost 40 global industries with products and services, both directly and indirectly, through a network of distributors. The broad product range includes development and manufacture of bearings, seals and lubrication systems, as well as rotating shaft services and solutions for machine health assessment, reliability engineering and remanufacturing.

The SKF assortment offers a wide variety of units with different housing shapes and bearings using different locking methods.

Angular contact ball bearings are designed to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously acting radial and axial loads.

Wheel bearings can fail for a variety of reasons and can also be damaged. They are especially vulnerable if you hit a tall curb, pothole, or speed bump at a high speed. If water, road salt, or mud gets past the waterproof seal and touches the bearings, it will contaminate the grease and cause the bearings to wear down and break prematurely.

Squealing or Growling Noise- Worn-out wheel bearings typically make a squealing or growling noise. This sound will intensify as vehicle speed increases.
