Maximum Support from Wheel Bearings

Anthony Fontanelle
April 2, 2008

Your Honda needs more than a powerful engine for impressive performance on the road. Your Honda’s wheels, for example, play a big role in ensuring your car’s efficiency. Though a typical Honda sedan weighs around 3000 lbs., your Honda’s wheels never fail to move your vehicle effortlessly on any terrain. Understandably, your vehicle’s wheels can’t achieve this feat on their own. For you to enjoy steady driving in your Honda, your vehicle’s wheels need the help of Honda Wheel Bearings.

To help your Honda’s wheels rotate smoothly, Honda Wheel Bearings are placed within the wheel hubs. The Honda Wheel Bearing assembly is composed of balls and the smooth inner and outer surfaces these balls roll against. When these balls slide against the metal surfaces, your vehicle’s wheels are allowed to turn with minimal friction. The wheel bearings also provide additional support for your vehicle’s weight. Each ball contained in your Honda Wheel Bearing is made from carbonized steel, heat-treated for maximum hardness. This ensures that your Honda Wheel Bearings withstand your Honda’s heavy loads. However, even the toughest wheel bearings succumb to deterioration after a long period of use. Wheel bearing trouble is signaled by noise coming from your vehicle’s wheel area. Besides noise, steering wander can also be a symptom of faulty Honda Wheel Bearings.

Maintenance for your Honda Wheel Bearing includes having it cleaned or re-greased, if your Honda’s wheel hubs have been submerged through water. But if your Honda Wheel Bearings are damaged beyond repair, they have to be replaced immediately. Neglecting wheel bearing replacement might cause your Honda’s wheels to come off during drives. And when your Honda’s wheels suddenly pop off on the road, you also put other motorists’ safety on the line. To prevent this from happening, replace your faulty wheel bearings with new Honda Wheel Bearings. Browsing our extensive catalog of wheel bearings is the first step towards smoother drives in your Honda.
