Rear wheel bearings are crucial components in your vehicle's suspension system, facilitating smooth wheel rotation and ensuring optimal driving performance. When these bearings fail, it can result in noise, vibration, and decreased handling, compromising your safety and the longevity of your vehicle.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 1 in every 100 vehicles on the road experiences rear wheel bearing failure annually. This highlights the importance of regular maintenance and timely replacement to avoid potential safety hazards and costly repairs.
