Detailed Description

This FAG 101641 wheel bearing is designed for front hub service on 2002-2006 Honda CR-V and 2003-2011 Honda Element models. The sealed construction reduces maintenance needs, while the compact bearing design supports reliable wheel rotation and load handling in everyday driving. The integrated magnetic strip must face the ABS sensor during installation to maintain correct signal pickup.

For buyers searching for a Honda Element front wheel bearing 101641 or a Honda CR-V front wheel bearing 101641, this part matches the listed OE-style dimensions and application details. The bearing’s angular contact ball design is suited to front and rear wheel positions across demanding operating conditions, and the preset clearance helps maintain consistent fit and function.

What This Part Helps Address

  • Wheel noise from a worn front bearing
  • Excessive play or looseness at the hub
  • ABS warning concerns related to incorrect magnetic ring orientation
  • Rough wheel rotation caused by bearing wear
  • Loss of smooth, stable front-end wheel support

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Fits 2003-2011 Honda Element, front.
  • Fits 2002-2006 Honda CR-V, front.
  • Install the magnetic strip toward the ABS sensor side.
  • Use a magnet indicator or a magnet-reactive item, such as a paper clip, to confirm the correct side before assembly.
  • A protective metal cover may also indicate the proper installation side.
  • Verify hub and knuckle condition before pressing in the bearing.
