Definition of wheel bearings: They are components used at the axle of a car to bear weight and provide precise guidance for the rotation of the hub, bearing both axial and radial loads. They are an important part of the car's load-bearing and rotation. 2.

The installation, greasing, sealing, and adjustment of bearing clearance are all carried out on the automobile production line.
