Wheel hub assemblies are critical components in any vehicle’s suspension and drivetrain system. They house the wheel bearings and connect the wheel to the vehicle, enabling smooth rotation and stable handling. However, these components are constantly exposed to harsh environments — moisture, road salt, dirt, and debris — which can lead to corrosion. Corrosion in … Read more
Modern vehicle safety systems such as ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ESC (Electronic Stability Control) rely heavily on highly accurate wheel speed data. This information is gathered by wheel speed sensors positioned near or integrated into the wheel bearing assembly. While the sensors themselves are critical, the precision of the wheel bearing tolerances plays an … Read more
As vehicles continue to evolve toward full connectivity, electrification, and autonomous operation, traditional mechanical components are being transformed into intelligent, data-driven systems. One of the most significant advancements in this shift is the development of smart wheel hubs and sensor-integrated wheel bearings. Once simple elements that supported wheel rotation, wheel bearings are now becoming sophisticated … Read more
When it comes to vehicle handling and tire longevity, few components play as critical — yet often overlooked — a role as wheel bearings. These small but vital parts allow the wheels to rotate smoothly while supporting the car’s entire weight. However, when bearing play — the slight looseness or movement within the bearing assembly … Read more
When it comes to smooth driving and long-lasting vehicle performance, few things are as overlooked as wheel balance and bearing health. Drivers may treat wheel balancing as a simple tire service, but its effect reaches deep into the mechanical heart of the car — especially the wheel bearings. Poor balance doesn’t just cause vibration; it … Read more
Most drivers think of their vehicle’s brake system and wheel bearings as separate entities — one responsible for stopping, the other for keeping the wheels spinning smoothly. Yet, these two systems are more interconnected than many realize. A fault in one can quickly compromise the other, leading to reduced safety, poor handling, and costly repairs. … Read more
