Mazda 6 Wheel Bearing

Mazda 6 Wheel Bearing is at the center of all the hubs; it reduces friction to the extent that the sedan will feel stable and quiet at every speed. The Wheel Bearing allows the wheel to rotate freely, but it holds the wheel firmly fixed to the spindle, thus preserving steering feel and braking control, since the bearing has rows of hardened steel balls or tapered rollers that roll inside a precision race. During production, Mazda has applied three principal bearing layouts. The highly popular is the sealed unit hub, which is an all-in-one unit and can even accommodate the ABS sensor, since all the components are permanently attached, making maintenance impossible without replacing the entire unit. In other front positions, there is a type of variation of the unit style where the bearing and hub separate once the steering knuckle is cleared out of the car and the original hub is re-applied after inserting a new bearing. Lastly, some Mazda models (with non-driven rear axles) have opposed replaceable tapered roller bearings that fit on the hub independently and can be greased and adjusted, thus respecting more traditional serviceability. Although they were designed differently, both Wheel Bearings are set to reduce the drag force, bear the weight of the vehicle and ensure that there is an appropriate orientation between the wheels and the suspension. As well as keeping every Mazda on its toes, the small but mighty Wheel Bearing is an insignificant component that makes a massive difference in safety and handling so that nothing drowns out the spirited nature that the 6 is meant to possess.
