As the wheel evolved, the need for a mechanism to reduce friction between the wheel and axle became apparent. This led to the development of wheel bearings. Initially, simple oil-soaked wooden or bronze bearings were used, which gradually transitioned to more advanced designs using ball or roller bearings. Over time, advancements in manufacturing processes and materials further improved the performance and longevity of wheel bearings.
The importance of wheel bearings also extends to the safety of the driver and passengers. Faulty wheel bearings can lead to excessive play, vibrations, and noise, indicating potential failure. In severe cases, a failed wheel bearing can cause the wheel to detach, resulting in a loss of control and potential accidents.
