• Rough wheel rotation caused by bearing wear or contamination
• Seal failure that allows moisture or road debris into the bearing assembly
• Reduced driveline smoothness from a worn front wheel bearing

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and front position before installation. Inspect the hub, knuckle, and surrounding components for wear or damage that could affect bearing life. Clean mating surfaces thoroughly and follow the vehicle service procedure and torque specifications during assembly. Because this bearing is sealed for life, routine relubrication is not required.
