Axle bearings are critical components that play a vital role in the smooth operation and safety of your vehicle. Understanding their importance and taking proper care of them can extend the lifespan of your vehicle and ensure a more comfortable and efficient driving experience.
Axle bearings are located at the ends of the axles and support the weight of the vehicle while allowing the wheels to rotate smoothly. They consist of precision-engineered rollers or balls that roll within a hardened race, providing a low-friction surface for the axle to spin.
