Detailed Description

FAG 101089 is a front wheel bearing designed for vehicles that need a compact, sealed bearing assembly with stable running characteristics. The bearing’s 40 mm inside diameter, 74 mm outside diameter, and 37 mm height define a precise fit for the specified applications, while the sealed, lubricated construction reduces service requirements over the life of the unit. This FAG 101089 bearing is listed for 1993-1999 Mitsubishi Mirage front applications, 2003-2004 Mitsubishi Space Star front applications, and 1993-1995 Dodge Colt front applications. This part cross-references National 510016 and SKF FW170 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Front wheel bearing noise such as humming or growling
• Excessive wheel play caused by worn bearing surfaces
• Rough wheel rotation from degraded internal lubrication
• Seal failure that allows contamination into the bearing
• Vibration or instability from a worn front hub bearing

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and front position before ordering. Match the bearing dimensions to the original unit and inspect the hub, spindle, and surrounding components for wear or damage during service. Proper press-fit handling and correct installation procedures are important to avoid premature bearing damage.

Quality Assurance

FAG is known for engineered bearing solutions used in demanding driveline and chassis applications. This wheel bearing is manufactured as a sealed, lubricated unit with preset clearance to support consistent performance in the listed Mitsubishi Mirage, Mitsubishi Space Star, and Dodge Colt front applications.
