3 Bearing-Hub Installation Tips To Prevent Comebacks

VIDEO: 3 Bearing-Hub Installation Tips To Prevent Comebacks

If a hub unit isn’t installed properly, you could be hearing from your customer sooner rather than later.

In a previous video, we talked about the importance of recommending high-quality bearing sets and wheel-hub units for your truck customers. Your customers with light- and medium-duty work trucks need reliable, premium-quality replacement bearings that can stand up to the demands of the day-to-day wear and tear of the job. 

However, recommending high-quality bearings from a trusted manufacturer is just part of the equation for avoiding customer comebacks. If a hub unit isn’t installed properly, you could be hearing from your customer sooner rather than later, regardless of the quality of the product.
