A wheel bearing lets the wheel spin freely with low friction while carrying the load on that corner of the vehicle. Schaeffler brings more than 130 years of chassis expertise to its wheel bearing line, which is intended to deliver reliability and stability on highways and city streets alike.
Signs a wheel bearing may need replacing include a humming, growling or grinding noise that rises with vehicle speed, play or looseness at the wheel, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first. If a worn rear bearing is the cause, this unit replaces it, for example during a 1998-2008 Subaru Forester rear wheel bearing replacement.
