Not only are wheel bearings designed to support the weight of the vehicle and allow it to travel over a road with a minimum of rolling friction, the bearings must also withstand the thrust loads generated by high-speed cornering and hard acceleration and braking. In addition, most wheel bearings must operate in a hostile environment ranging from 40 F on a cold start-up to more than 400 F during heavy braking. Worse still, the muddy, silt-laden water of Americas southern flood plains have recently ruined thousands of wheel bearings by contaminating them with dirt and water.

Its All Ball Bearings Nowadays
Ball-type wheel bearings were very popular on early vehicles because they were easy to manufacture and install. Moreover, since ball-type wheel bearings have minimal load-bearing area between the ball and the inner and outer bearing races, their rolling friction is usually low. On the other hand, this lack of load-bearing area makes adjustment and lubrication critical because a combination of too much preload and incorrect bearing grease will cause rapid failure.

Rolling in the 50s
