Detailed Description

Built to FAG specifications, part number 101528 is a compact rear wheel bearing designed for 2009-2011 Ford Focus applications. Its sealed unit construction helps keep lubrication contained while protecting the bearing from contamination, and the defined internal clearance supports stable wheel rotation under load. The 29 mm inside diameter, 57 mm outside diameter, and 47 mm height make this bearing a precise service part for driveline and axle repairs where correct dimensions matter. This FAG 101528 bearing is also cross-referenced to Timken WB000030 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Rear wheel noise or growling during driving
• Excessive wheel play or looseness at the hub
• Rough rotation caused by worn bearing surfaces
• Seal failure that allows contamination into the bearing assembly
• Restoring smooth rear wheel operation on a Ford Focus

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear position and confirm bearing dimensions before installation. Clean the hub and surrounding components thoroughly, and inspect related axle and sealing surfaces for wear or damage. Because this is a sealed bearing unit, do not attempt to repack or service the internal lubrication. Confirm fitment for 2009-2011 Ford Focus, rear, using the vehicle’s exact year and application details before assembly.

Quality Assurance

FAG manufactures this wheel bearing as a sealed, maintenance-free unit with preset clearance for consistent performance. The design follows the brand’s first-generation wheel bearing construction used across many OE-style repair applications.
