Steering knuckle hub bearing is a core component in the suspension and steering system of a vehicle. It connects the wheels to the suspension system, supports the weight of the vehicle, and ensures flexible rotation of the wheels. Its performance has direct implications for driving safety, control stability, and riding comfort.

Symptoms of a failed steering knuckle hub bearing:

Abnormal steering: including difficult steering, steering deviation, and insensitive steering.

Abnormal noise: including abnormal driving noise and abnormal steering noise.

Abnormal driving stability: including vehicle vibration and abnormal driving posture.

Abnormal braking performance: including deviation and vibration during braking.

Reasons for failures of a steering knuckle hub bearing:

Deformation or damage of the steering knuckle: It may be caused by collision, long-term use, or improper maintenance, and can result in uneven bearing force and consequent wear or damage.

Wear of hub bearing: If the bearing comes into contact with external dust, moisture, and impurities, and is not properly lubricated, it will be worn more heavily.

Wear of the internal teeth of the wheel hub shaft head: Wear of the gear or connecting parts due to improper installation, overload, or long-term use can affect normal operation of the bearing.

Advantages of steering knuckle hub bearing kits:

The installation and replacement of steering knuckle hub bearing kits are more convenient, leading to lower overall maintenance cost.

Replacement with such kits can solve all failures at once and avoid potential issues such as those related to compatibility between separate parts and maintenance and assembly quality. It leads to a higher level of quality assurance, more stable and reliable performance, and higher durability.

vika steering knuckle hub bearing kit:

Steering knuckle: It is developed by referring to the materials and dimensions of original OE parts, and uses high-quality cast steel/cast iron/aluminum alloy materials and precision CNC machining processes to ensure high dimensional accuracy at all installation positions.

Hub bearing: The bearings from C&U brand are adopted, featuring highly stable and reliable performance.

Braking disc guard plates: They are developed by referring to the materials of original OE parts. The high-grade steel plates/aluminum alloy plates adopted are characterized by high strength, excellent wear resistance, and the ability to withstand large impact force. They can therefore better protect the braking disc against external impact.

Hub shaft head: It is made of high-grade bearing steel, which features great strength, high hardness, and good wear resistance and fatigue resistance.

Assembly process: In the bearing and shaft head pressing process, pressing force and pressing size are monitored in real time to guarantee high dimensional accuracy and meet performance requirements of the steering knuckle assembly.
