Volvo S40 Wheel Bearing

Volvo S40 Wheel Bearing allows every wheel to rotate with the least friction, reducing friction that makes the sedan move smoothly and steer correctly. A Wheel Bearing has balls or rollers made of hardened steel that move on a polished metal race within the hub and create a firm but low-friction bearing capable of supporting the weight of a vehicle and rotating. In the majority of contemporary Volvo models the bearing is in the form of a sealed unit hub bearing that usually contains the ABS speed sensor, has a pre-greased life, and is changed as a complete unit when worn, thereby limiting contamination and minimizing repair time. Some front-drive designs employed by the small Volvo have to have the steering knuckle pulled out so the hub and bearing may be forced open and rebonded, providing access without necessarily replacing the whole knuckle. Previously forced or driven axle hubs can be based on opposed tapered roller designs, in which two different bearings are confronted on a spindle; the individual pieces can be removed, lubricated, repacked and reassembled without needing their preload to be adjusted. Both styles are aimed at reducing heat and wear and keeping the wheel firmly in line, but the sealed unit is less of a maintenance type, while the tapered roller type compensates for the brief checkups with outstanding longevity. Noise or play checks are made regularly to prevent any damage to tires, reduced fuel economy, or loss of the confident road feel that is to be experienced in a Volvo S40, with each Wheel Bearing contributing a minor fraction to a significant impact on safety.
