Your vehicle's rear wheel bearings play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth, comfortable, and safe driving experience. These bearings allow your wheels to rotate freely while supporting the weight of your car, and they are essential for maintaining proper wheel alignment and handling.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), properly functioning wheel bearings are critical for preventing accidents. Worn or damaged bearings can lead to wheel wobble, steering instability, and even catastrophic failures that can result in a loss of control.
