Details: The wheel hub bearings play a vital role in both supporting the vehicle's weight and facilitating smooth rotation of the wheels. They are an essential element of a vehicle's wheel assembly. If a vehicle is driven with a defective hub bearing, it not only affects the wheel assembly but also diminishes brake performance, posing a risk of losing control over the vehicle. It is recommended to replace hub bearings in pairs, either for the front or rear wheels, as this approach saves time by addressing both components simultaneously. In most instances, if one hub bearing fails, the other is likely to follow suit shortly. Therefore, it is crucial to torque this part according to the vehicle's specifications to prevent any potential failures.
