Consumer Description

MY CAR BEGAN MAKING REALLY LOUD HUMMING THAT GOT LOUDER AS I DROVE FASTER. ON OCCASION I WOULD FEEL IT 'SLIP' AT HIGH SPEEDS BUT I KNEW IT WASN'T THE TRANSMISSION. IT TURNED OUT THAT ALL 4 SETS OF THE WHEEL BEARINGS WERE LOCKING UP . BECAUSE THE BEARINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN A SEALED ENVIRONMENT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS FOR ONE, AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WHEEL HUB FOR ALL 4 SINCE THE BEARINGS ALONE ARE NOT SERVICEABLE.
