Coates International Ltd., Infinitely Self-Adjusting Wheel Bearing

The front wheels of an automobile are normally mounted on a spindle with the wheel bearing supported in the spindle. The wheel is supported by an inner and outer wheel bearing, allowing the wheel to rotate freely. During the installation or replacement of the bearing the mechanic must position the locking nut so that the wheel rotates freely without any wobble or play. It is virtually impossible to know when the bearings are adjusted so that they are exactly right and not too loose or tight. This has always been a guess.

The Coates International Ltd., Infiinitely Self-Adjusting Wheel Bearing has two major objectives for improving the wheel bearing. They are:

(1) Provide a wheel bearing that self adjusts the pressure on the outer bearing during operation of the vehicle; and

(2) Provide a wheel bearing assembly that ensures the proper positioning of the wheel bearings during assembly. In effect, this turns the assembly process into an exact science.
