Your car's wheel bearings are essential components that allow your wheels to spin smoothly and safely. When a wheel bearing fails, it can cause a variety of problems, including a grinding or loose wheel bearing sound.
Wheel bearings are located inside the wheel hub and consist of two races (inner and outer) and a set of balls or rollers. As the wheel spins, the balls or rollers roll between the races, reducing friction and allowing the wheel to turn smoothly.
