Here&#8217;s what makes ours stand out.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tHigh Grade Steel Bearings\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>GMB Bearings are made of a high strength GCR15 steel, subjected to a proprietary process to achieve maximum hardness, and then finally treated with a G-10 finish.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?\n\t\t\t\t<p>High grade GCR15 steel is used to prevent premature failure due to extreme temperatures and high loads during normal operating conditions. G-10 resin is one of the toughest of &#8220;glass fiber resins&#8221; available. Non-treated steel bearings showed signs of scoring after only a few thousand miles of simulated testing at various speeds. Whereas treated steel bearings showed lasted over one hundred thousand miles of simulated testing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/steel-bearings.jpeg\" alt=\"steel-bearings\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"steel-bearings\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/high-grade-steel-hubs.jpeg\" alt=\"high-grade-steel-hubs\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"high-grade-steel-hubs\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h3>\n\t\tRoll Formed High-Grade Steel Hub\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>GMB Wheel Bearing &amp; Hub Assemblies contain specially formulated bearing grease. This special bearing grease has superior lubrication, enhanced thermal dissipation, water wash-out resistance, and better ability to lock in oils to keep the bearings rolling at optimal performance!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?\n\t\t\t\t<p>This process ensures the structural integrity of the steel by eliminating the need for welding or creating weak points within the hub assembly for enhanced durability, performance, and reliability.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tSpecially Formulated Bearing Grease\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>GMB Bearings are made of a high strength GCR15 steel, subjected to a proprietary process to achieve maximum hardness, and then finally treated with a G-10 finish.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?\n\t\t\t\t<p>Without grease, the best bearing in the world would fail very quickly. So, it&#8217;s important to use a high-quality grease that will last the life of the bearing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bearing-grease.jpeg\" alt=\"bearing-grease\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"bearing-grease\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GMB_Wheel-Hub-Assembly.jpeg\" alt=\"GMB_Wheel Hub Assembly\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"GMB_Wheel Hub Assembly\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h3>\n\t\tTriple &#038; Quadruple Lip Sealing\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>GMB Hub Bearing Assemblies use a triple and quadruple lip sealing technology. This technique uses high temperature resistant rubber to achieve maximum bearing protection against dust, water and road debris.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?\n\t\t\t\t<p>The seal is crucial in protecting the bearing from foreign contaminants as well as retaining the bearing grease. Extended exposure to foreign contaminants such as dust, water and road debris can quickly begin breaking down the lubricating properties of the bearing grease, develop rust, or seize the bearing all together stripping the bearing of its primary function. In such cases you can experience excessive vibration, excessive noise, or even catastrophic failure.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tOEM Spec ABS Sensors\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>ABS sensors used with GMB Wheel Hub Assemblies are manufactured with premium wire casings with 99.90% pure copper on the internal wiring for greater electrical conductivity and optimal performance. Our sensors are rigorously tested using the latest state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that the signal waves meet or exceed OE specs, and Electromagnetic Radiation Detectors to detect noise to eliminate radio interference.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?\n\t\t\t\t<p>The ABS Sensors sole function is to measure the rotational speed of a wheel then transmit the collected information to the vehicles Engine Control Module (ECM) to assist the anti-lock braking system for controlling the vehicles driving stability under varying conditions. With premium wire casings, greater electrical conductivity, and rigorous testing, we can ensure a high level of performance, durability, and the longevity you expect for your vehicle.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GMB_730-3250_Angle.jpeg\" alt=\"GMB_730-3250_Angle\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"GMB_730-3250_Angle\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t<h2><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/gmb-wheel-hub-assembly-guide.pdf\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Why Hub Assemblies &#038; Wheel Bearings Fail<\/a><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/gmb-wheel-hub-assembly-guide.pdf\" target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GMB_HubAssembly-Bearing_300x200.png\" alt=\"GMB_HubAssembly-Bearing_300x200\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"200\" width=\"300\" title=\"GMB_HubAssembly-Bearing_300x200\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/gmb-wheel-hub-assembly-guide.pdf\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"LEARN MORE\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLEARN MORE\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GMB_Develop_Icon.png\" alt=\"GMB_Develop_Icon\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"250\" width=\"250\" title=\"GMB_Develop_Icon\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h2>\n\t\tWe&#8217;re Continiously Developing New Products\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>We research, manufacture, and release <em><strong>hundreds<\/strong><\/em> of new products every year to make sure we have the parts you need.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tLatest Hub Assembly &#038; Wheel Bearing News\n\t<\/h2>\n<h2>\n\t\tHow To Maximize The Performance And Lifespan Of Your Hub Assembly\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Preventative maintenance is the key to maximizing the performance and durability of any hub bearing.
