When it comes to vehicle safety and performance, wheel bearings play a crucial role. But what exactly are they, and why should you pay attention to them? Let’s break it down.

What Are Wheel Bearings?
As the name suggests, wheel bearings are bearings located on each of your vehicle’s four wheels. They carry the weight of the vehicle and distribute it evenly to the tires, allowing them to roll smoothly down the road. Without properly functioning wheel bearings, your driving experience can become noisy, rough, and even dangerous.
