Bearings
There are hundereds of bearings in your vehicle. Any part that rotates has one or more bearings to support it. These parts take a lot of abuse and even the smallest amount of wear or an imperfection can cause problems.
There are bearings in the differential, the drive axles, the transmission, engine, steering and wheels All of the electrical motors that operate the seats, windows, heater and air conditioning blowers and wipers have bearings. The most common bearings which requires replacement are the wheel bearings.
Wheel bearings are subjected to tremendous abuse. They are exposed to the elements, subjected to braking and turning forces when maneuvering in traffic or turns, as well as constantly hitting bumps in the road all while carrying the weight of the car. Wheel bearings also house the anitlock brake sensors and can directly relate to that system and it’s ability to perform.How Fox and Fox can help
