Hub Bearing Rotation
Rough or hard rotating hub bearings
Over recent years there have been concerns about new hub bearings being rough or hard to rotate out of the box. Many technicians will inspect a new replacement hub bearing visually and by rotating the assembly once or twice by hand.
During this process it is not abnormal to feel a roughness or grittiness as the two halves rotate. This condition is not an indication of a defective bearing; these hub units should not be returned as suspected defective parts. For more information click here download the tech tip.
