Potential problems creeping from a bad front wheel bearings

After an experience replacing front wheel bearings lately - there is a feeling it's one of the most important components of the wheel that need to inspect occasionally and require replacement as soon as possible if it has gone bad. The wheel bearing is a very strong component that also helps to assist the suspensions to keep the car stable while driving on the roads. 

As the wheel bearings worn out it weakens the grip on the driveshaft and causing the wheel to wobble. If left too long for example years without replacing just because it's a minor wobbly the problem could creep to the cv axle differential bearings inside the gearbox which hold the inner end of the driveshaft. This is because the wheel bearing could no longer hold the driveshaft firmly on one side and automatically yank the other end back and forth which is being hold by the differential bearings.

And of course, replacement of the differential bearings will cost more to replace, and it require special tools, effort and time to get it done.
