Wheel Hubs & bearings for Chevrolet Impala

Wheel Hubs and Bearings for Chevrolet Impala

From 1958 through 1985 and from 1994 through 1996 and again in 2000, Chevrolet manufactured the Impala as a full-size car and offered options for rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive. If youre a driver of an Impala vehicle with more than 50,000 miles, it may be time to consider replacing the wheel bearings and wheel hubs. With a large selection of wheel hubs and bearings for Chevrolet Impala, you can find the set that will keep your tires securely attached to the axle and spindle.

There are two components which make up your full wheel bearing assembly. These are the wheel bearing and the hub for your Chevrolet Impalas wheel. The hub connects the wheel to your axle spindle while the bearing attaches to the hub using heavy-duty bolts. When you get the wheel hub combination, you can install the entire item to the axle in one easy step, ensuring consistency and compatibility throughout the entire project.

Especially with a full-size car such as the Chevrolet Impala, youll need wheel bearings and wheel hub assemblies that can handle high temperatures and significant amounts of debris. Materials that are ideal for this work include steel, blends of synthetic materials, and aluminum. By using these hardy materials, your bearings and hubs are protected from warping, melting, rust, and other damage. It also prevents chipping and cracking from rocks and glass that may be kicked up during regular use.

With regular vehicle maintenance and good driving habits, your wheel bearings, hubs, and assembly should last between 50,000-75,000 miles or up to 8 years. While hidden by the wheel, the exterior color of the assembly is generally silver, gray, or chrome, depending on what material the part is made of. Your exact dimensions and height will vary based on your vehicles year and trim, but the wheel bearing and hub assembly is typically around 8 pounds, with dimensions of 6 by 7 by 6 millimeters, give or take a small amount.

You may find a replacement assembly from Chevrolet or from original equipment parts from other automotive manufacturers that fit the car. The brand of the wheel bearing and wheel hub isnt as important as finding an exact fit. If youre seeking parts which were made in the same factory as the car, youll want Chevrolet parts. Aftermarket parts from other parties will fit your vehicle but may be made of different materials. Youll want to check your service manual to make sure youre buying the proper bearing and hub combination for your specific model year and trim.
