The Mazda CX-3 Wheel Bearing makes the subcompact crossover ride on its trademark smooth roll, making the commute in any car quieter and more precise by cutting down friction between hub and axle. The polished steel balls are housed in a sealed hub assembly and roll on a hardened race and support the weight of the vehicle whilst spinning freely at highway speed. This closed design also traps factory grease and keeps out water or grit, a feature that increases long-term reliability. Since the ABS speed sensor usually resides in the same small body, the bearing also serves as a data source for traction control, i.e. safer cornering and harder stops. All new CX-3s, beginning in 2016, have the same bearing on both axles, so that owners can have the same compatibility across the trims. The component keeps the wheel perfectly aligned, eliminating lumpy tire tread and keeping the steering feel sharp, which is more in line with the sporty personality drivers want to associate with Mazda. This is in spite of the fact that even the light diesel or punchy 2.0-liter gas models enjoy the low rolling resistance the Wheel Bearing provides, chewing more miles out of each gallon. Once wear occurs, growling noise or vague handling gives drivers an early reminder that this small component protects other, bigger systems such as brakes and hubs. This keeps fuel efficiency high and cabin noise levels low in any CX-3 by maintaining the health of the bearing to enable it to support both daily comfort and enthusiastic weekend outings. It is renowned on enthusiast forums because it resists contamination and reduces service time compared with the old press-fit units Mazda applied earlier. The Wheel Bearing will reduce unsprung mass by combining several functions into a single rugged all-purpose part, which will result in quicker suspension response and a smoother ride. Very few competitors in the sector have introduced a component so well balanced among efficiency, safety, and performance, which reinforces the engineering emphasis that has remained a distinguishing factor at Mazda.
