Wheel Bearing (Front) - 387433/36
An automotive wheel hub bearing is a crucial component that connects the wheel to the axle, allowing it to rotate smoothly. It supports the vehicle's weight and ensures stability while driving. Typically sealed and pre-lubricated, it also plays a role in ABS and traction control systems.
A bearing is a friction reduction device placed within something like a wheel to aid efficiency of rotation. This is achieved as rolling produces much less friction force than sliding. A car's wheel bearing does this by using small metal balls that roll between two smooth rings of metal. Wheel bearings are essential in the operation of your vehicle. More precisely, a wheel bearing is crucial for the proper function of the hub, tire and wheel assemblies to work together. The wheel bearing allows friction-free movement and rotation of the hub assembly, and thereby provides smooth tire and wheel rotation.
