MK4 R32/MK1 TT Wheel Bearing

Wheel bearings enable your car's wheels to rotate smoothly with minimal friction. Designed to sustain radial and axial loads caused by gravitation, acceleration, breaking, & cornering forces, they are critical to basic movement.

Constructed of steel ball bearings, held together by a metal ring, packed with grease, and weather sealed, the assembly enables a wheel to rotate smoothly with a minimum of friction.

Wheel bearings are very low-maintenance items but nothing lasts forever. What's more, they usually provide plenty of warning ahead of time. -usually humming, rumbling, or growling noise that increases with acceleration or as the vehicle turns. Or, a loud and constant whining or grinding noise may be audible when the vehicle is in motion. Clunking noises when driving over uneven road surfaces are common indicators.

If or when a wheel bearing does fail completely, very serious problems can result. -even catastrophic. Be proactive and restore your vehicle's front end. Parts are priced each.
