Wheel bearings have now been added to the Continental product line-up with suspension and steering components following in stages.

The introduction marks a progression into all-new product segments, meaning that professional mechanics can also count on Continental quality for handling demanding repair jobs in areas beyond the belt drive safely and reliably. 

Continental is offering a the full spectrum of wheel bearing types: from the classic ball bearing to a pre-assembled wheel hub bearing unit with ABS pulse rings and sensors. The range also includes models for electric vehicles, whose greater weight and much higher torque call for specially engineered wheel bearings capable of reliably absorbing huge axial and radial forces. 

“With today’s increasingly electrified vehicle fleet, it is vital that mechanics and, above all, drivers can rely on these crucial components more than ever,” says Rolf Sudmann, Head of Automotive Aftermarket in the ContiTech group sector. “This is why we decided to add this product group to our range – so that workshops can benefit from trusted Continental quality in this area too.”

The wheel bearings are manufactured to OEM standards from exceptionally robust high-performance steel. They offer an optimum fit, together with a long lifespan thanks to the use of high-quality lubricating grease. The initial product range is intelligently structured and will be gradually expanded. At present, it comprises 163 different items that allow workshops to cater for the repair requirements of 73% of Europe’s current vehicle fleet. 

The uncompromising quality is allows registered workshops to benefit from a five-year guarantee, something no other manufacturer can match. A host of practical services are also available, including free installation instructions and service videos. 

Continental have also announced they will be adding high-quality suspension parts to the portfolio before the end of 2024. These will be followed by steering components in 2025. 

Continental wheel bearings are now available from stockists.
