When it comes to the suspension system of your trailer, wheel bearings are one of the most important components, as they support the weight of the trailer on various terrains.
The meter (symbol: m) is the fundamental unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as "the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second." In 1799, France start using the metric system, and that is the first country using the metric.
