A wheel bearing lets the wheel rotate on its hub or spindle with low friction while carrying the loads placed on that corner of the vehicle. Signs that a wheel bearing may need replacing include a humming or grinding noise that changes with road speed, and play or looseness at the wheel. If a worn bearing is the cause, this unit replaces it. Whether your vehicle calls for an SKF front wheel bearing or a rear one, the Buyer's Guide tab lists the applications for FW161.
