Front wheel bearings and rear wheel bearings could hold up to 850 lbs depending on the front-to-rear weight distribution of a car. In a 6-ton SUV, each bearing can carry about 1,500 lbs. If wrongly adjusted, a wheel bearing may wear out early. The sealed grease, which is the most vulnerable part of the bearing, will start to leak. Dirt enters the bearing cavity, damaging the wheel bearing.
