Whether we’re talking about your engine, axles, transmission, or anywhere else they’re found, bearings have a very, very, very important job. That job, for the purposes of this article, is to enable rotational movement. Or, in slightly less-fancy talk, a bearing reduces friction and makes it easier for a shaft or hub to spin freely.

“Upgrading even the most basic engine parts like engine bearings can give you a great performance advantage,” said Summit Racing tech expert Norm Koval. In this short tech tip video from Summit Racing and Powerblock TV, you’ll hear Koval explain how specialty coatings which reduce friction, and include certain machined design elements give performance bearings
