Located in the wheel hub, brake drum, or rotor itself, wheel bearings support the full weight of the vehicle while allowing the wheels to rotate smoothly within a steel enclosure.

Worn bearing symptoms range from loud noises emanating from the wheel hubs to general rough ride characteristics. ECS offers Vaico individual Front Wheel Bearings and Wheel Bearing Kits, along with the fantastic Schwaben 24-piece Wheel Bearing Service Kit.

The heater core is a heat exchanger, much like the radiator, that transfers heat from engine coolant to the air inside the vehicle's cabin. Clogged heater cores transmit heat poorly, while leaking heater cores drip engine coolant into the cabin, creating a bad odor and sometimes dampened carpeting. If you are noticing a strong coolant odor while in the cabin of the vehicle, coolant loss without a visible leak, or poor heat output, chances are you have a bad heater core. When replacing the heater core, there are one-time-use seals and clamps that also need to be replaced.

An unfortunate consequence of the modern closed PCV/Breather system is the unintended ingestion of oil vapor and carbon into the intake tract, lowering the octane rating and leaving harmful deposits on a vehicle's intake valves and ports that result in decreased power. Engineered in-house and manufactured here in the USA, the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can utilizes a highly efficient 4-chamber oil separator, decreasing oil ingestion and maintaining engine power output. The innovative design also catches as much blow-by gas as possible, bringing carbon buildup to an absolute minimum.
