DID YOU KNOW ... ACDELCO WHEEL BEARINGS

Wheel hubs and bearings are one of the most underserviced components on today's vehicle. Unless they fail, most drivers take them for granted and do not realize the true importance of having good wheel bearings.

Wheel Bearing Facts:

• A classic symptom of a bad wheel bearing is noise, so if a wheel is making "funny" noises when driving (squeaks, chirps, squeals, moans, etc.) or you hear a grinding noise when turning, it may indicate a bad wheel bearing. Other symptoms include steering wander or possibly a pull to one side when braking
• Wheel bearings are designed to support the entire weight of the vehicle through the hub, wheel and tire
• Worn wheel bearings can also cause excess pad-to-rotor clearance which can result in a low brake pedal, a brake squeal and/or clicking on disc brake vehicles
• There is no way to disassemble and repair a sealed hub assembly
• A bearing failure can be dangerous because it may cause the wheel to separate from the vehicle and/or cause a loss of steering control
