SKF B52 front inner wheel bearing for the 1953-1962 Chevrolet Corvette and other vehicles lets the wheel turn on its hub with little friction.
A worn wheel bearing can show up as a humming or growling noise that changes with speed, or as vibration or looseness at the wheel. These signs alone do not prove the bearing is the problem, since a worn tire can make similar noise.
The 1953-1962 Chevrolet Corvette, the 1957-1959 GMC PM152 and the 1959 GMC PM153 are covered, along with many other Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac models. The quantity is two per vehicle, so order two and fit them together. This SKF wheel bearing is sold individually.
