Wheel Bearings and Seal Service• Function of the wheel bearing is to support a
moving load with a minimum amount of friction
• Bearings allow the wheels to rotate while supporting the weight of the entire vehicle

Wheel Bearing Loading
• Axial loading is when the load is parallel to the shaft that supports the bearing(side to side)
• Radial loading is when the load is perpendicular to the shaft(up and down)
• Combination loading uses both axial and radial loading

Bearing Types
• Friction- have no moving parts, components slide past each other (ex. Engine bearing, pilot bushings)
• Anti –Friction- allow for movement between components with reduced friction, components are supported by either ball, roller or needle bearings

Anti Friction Bearing Types
![Page 9: Unit II Wheel Bearings and Seal Service f2012 student notes (1).pptx](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5695d3b01a28ab9b029ed3e8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Anti Friction Bearing Types
• Ball bearings- used on drive ales, can support both axle and radial loads, low friction and high speed use
• Straight roller-used on rear axles or rear wheel drive cars ( C-lock style), support radial loads only, no axial load support
• Spherical Roller- used on front drive axles, supports radial and axial loads
![Page 10: Unit II Wheel Bearings and Seal Service f2012 student notes (1).pptx](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5695d3b01a28ab9b029ed3e8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Anti Friction Bearing Types
• Tapered Roller- most commonly used wheel and axle bearing, usually used on non drive axles can support radial and axial loads well
• Needle bearing- used on u-joints and transmissions, can support axial loads or radial loads but not both in one application

Bearing Service
• Types of Failure:– 1. Spalling or Indentations – hardened metal
surface flakes off. Causes: – dirt, heat, overloading, lack of lube, metal fatigue, incorrect hardness
![Page 22: Unit II Wheel Bearings and Seal Service f2012 student notes (1).pptx](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5695d3b01a28ab9b029ed3e8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Bearing Service
• 1. Brinelling – lines or indentations in the races that match the rollers. Causes: - extreme load, vibration, lack of movement
![Page 23: Unit II Wheel Bearings and Seal Service f2012 student notes (1).pptx](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5695d3b01a28ab9b029ed3e8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Bearing Service
• 3. Smearing – damage to inner or outer races caused by spinning of the race or contaminants between the race and spindle or hub
• 4. Galling – damage to the end of the rollers, similar to spalling but more severe. Caused by overloading or lack of lubrication, dirt.

Bearing Service
• 5. Stains or discoloration- not usually a problem unless the bearing is blue from heat
• 6. Cage damage- usually caused during servicing
• 7. Normal wear- dull grayish color

Bearing Failure Diagnosis
• 1. Noise – growling, humming– A. Tires (noise changes with road surface)– B. Bearings (noise remains constant over different road
surfaces)• 2. Vibration– A. Tires (speed dependent)– B. Bearings (loose wheel bearings can cause brake
pulsation and steering wheel roughness) – C. Driveline (speed and load dependent)
![Page 30: Unit II Wheel Bearings and Seal Service f2012 student notes (1).pptx](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5695d3b01a28ab9b029ed3e8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Bearing Failure Diagnosis
• 3. Locate growl either front or rear– May need to raise front or rear axles to isolate
• 4. Determine left or right side of vehicle, inner or outer wheel bearing by making gentle turns to the right or left– Putting load to one side while turning (outside
bearing will make the most noise)
![Page 31: Unit II Wheel Bearings and Seal Service f2012 student notes (1).pptx](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051700/5695d3b01a28ab9b029ed3e8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Servicing (repacking)
• 1. When– A. Every 2 years or 24,000 miles– B. Brake job– C. Wheel alignment
• 2. Disassemble and Cleaning– A. Clean in clean solvent– B. Air dry– C. Clean again– D. Air dry again– E. Inspect for defects as discussed
• NOTE: Do NOT Air Spin!
