Wheel bearings are used in both the front wheels and the back wheels. Each individual wheel has their own wheel bearing and it is possible for just one of those bearings to wear out while the others are still in good condition. One of the most overlooked yet highly critical parts of the drive-axle and steering assembly are the wheel bearings. Every wheel on your car is attached to a hub and inside this hub is a set of lubricated wheel bearings that allow your tires and wheels to spin freely without building up too much heat.

If the car has a substantial number of miles on the failed bearing, 100,000 miles or more, it is a good idea to replace both bearings on the axle at the same time. On older and commercial vehicles, the wheel bearings may be of a serviceable design. These bearings can must be cleaned out and have the wheel bearing grease and seals replaced at set intervals to prevent wheel bearing failure.

The GM109SS is compatible with the following vehicles. Please see the picture of the OEM bearing on this page. If your OEM bearing looks like the one pictured, then the GM109SS will serve as a direct replacement.

A wheel bearing is a set of steel balls held together by a metal ring called a race. They help wheels spin fast with as little friction as possible. They are used on all kinds of vehicles, from bicycles to aircrafts and cars. On a car, a wheel bearing rides on a metal axle shaft and fits tightly inside the hub, which is a hollow chunk of metal at the center of the wheel. The hub holds the lug bolts that you use to bolt the tire onto the wheel. The wheel bearing is pressed into the hub from the back.

Wheel bearing is an essential part of your car's system. Don't take a chance on it failing. Give Wrench a call today and our team of experts can help you book an appointment and get your car up and running quickly.

This upgraded design restores like new steering feel and will last a lifetime.

​The GM109SS Cartridge bearing is an excellent upgrade over current import OEM design offerings and will last the life of the vehicle.
