The wheel bearing spacer is a crucial custom part that allows clearance for the braking components.
Wheel bearing spacer importanceThe wheel bearing spacer is vital because it enhances the leverage on the wheel bearing. The design of the spacer is made to push a wheel away from the wheel hub to allow space for the brake caliper. The spacer gives the wheel hub a little leverage but makes the component susceptible to wearing out sooner.
Common issues with a faulty wheel bearing spacerA faulty wheel bearing spacer can lead to uneven wear, grinding noises, or the wheel decreases wheel bearing life.
