Wheel Bearings
|
Timken and SKF are our main suppliers of wheel bearings. Below you will find three lists showing the bearing cones, cups, and sets that are currently in stock at Plaza.
How to find the correct wheel bearings for your truckWheel bearings are made to fit a specific axle. Two different sizes are required for each wheel. Timken provides the information you need in their Wheel Bearing Applications Catalog. You will first need to know the axle number. A tag attached to the drive and trailer axle will provide the axle number for most heavy-duty trucks and trailers. Steering and Tag axles often have this number cast directly into the axle itself. The Wheel Bearing Applications Catalog lists all axle manufacturers and axle numbers with a cross reference to the bearing cone, bearing cup and wheel seals that fit your axle. Occasionally you will find that a bearing cup is paired with more than one bearing cone. However the general rule is that each bearing cup matches only one bearing cone and you have no choice to make.

What you are ignoring about your wheels can cost you!Bearing failure can result from inadequate lubrication or contamination of the lubricant among other things. Are you ignoring your driver’s comments about wobble? Are you ignoring what you see when you are looking at a wheel? You will be smart to look at these signs and symptoms of wheel-end problems from Timken. Also check out Timken’s complete list of technical advice for wheel ends, bearings, and lubrication

Your Bearings Might Not Survive a “Dry Spell”
Over many years Plaza’s service shop has found that the primary cause for the locking or failure of wheel bearings is a lack of lubrication when replacing them. Before the final tightening of any axle nut it is important to understand that the natural process of oil moving laterally to the bearings does not fully occur until the wheels have travelled as much as 21-25 miles. The remedy for such a “dry spell” is to coat the bearings with oil before installing them and then fill the hub with oil.
Properly adjusting the wheel bearings when installing them is extremely important also, but the need to lubricate the bearings before moving the vehicle is often overlooked. For non-drive axles Stemco recommends that you install the hub cap with a new gasket and fill the cavity with lubricant to the proper level before putting the vehicle back on the road. For drive axles Stemco goes so far as to recommend that you check that the differential oil level is high enough to ensure oil flow through the tube to the wheels and also recommends that you even jack-up one side of the axle and then the other to insure that oil is flowing to the wheels. At a minimum you should lubricate wheel bearings (in the words of TMC’s recommended procedure “with clean lubricant of the same type used in the axle sump or hub assembly”.
