A wheel bearing lets the wheel rotate with low friction while carrying the loads the vehicle places on it. SKF invented the first self-aligning ball bearing in 1907 and has been making ball bearings for more than 100 years.
A front wheel bearing may need replacing if you notice a humming or growling noise that changes with vehicle speed, play or looseness at the wheel, or roughness when the wheel is turned by hand. Other components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Follow the vehicle service information for installation and torque values.
