Wheel
Bearing and Race – On most rear wheel drive vehicles there
is an inner and outer wheel bearing for both front wheels. The
bearing fits inside the Race and its smooth surface allows the bearing
to rotate freely. When replacing wheel bearings you should also
replace the race. Wheel bearings like this one pictured should be
re-packed with wheel bearing grease when performing a brake job, or if
the wheels have been submerged in water. A wheel seal is installed on
the outside of the bearing to keep the grease in the bearing area.
