The invention is based on the problem of proposing a wheel bearing arrangement which has reliable long-term lubrication and is characterized by a simple design. For this purpose, a wheel bearing arrangement (1) is proposed having one rotating and one stationary rotary partner (3,4) and having two rolling body rows (5a, b), wherein the rotary partners (3, 4) are mounted so as to be rotatable relative to one another about a rotational axis (2) by means of the two rolling body rows (5a, b), and having a grease distributor ring (9), wherein the grease distributor ring (9) is rotationally fixedly connected to the rotating rotary partner (3) and has a first grease guiding surface (13a) which is aligned such that, during the rotation of the rotating rotary partner (3), lubricating grease is conducted to one of the rolling body rows (5a), wherein the grease distributor ring (9) has a second grease guiding surface (13b) which is aligned such that, during the rotation of the rotating rotary partner (3), lubricating grease is conducted to the other rolling body row (5b).
