FAG 102400 Wheel Bearing - Front

FAG 102400 Wheel Bearing Overview

The FAG 102400 wheel bearing is a first-generation compact bearing unit built for front-wheel service on select Suzuki applications. It uses preset bearing clearance, permanent lubrication, and sealing to support consistent wheel rotation with no routine maintenance.

Compatible with 1989-1994 Suzuki Swift, front, and 1995-2002 Suzuki Esteem, front, this bearing is sized for a precise OE-style fit. The FAG 102400 is a practical replacement when you need a sealed front wheel bearing for Suzuki Swift or Suzuki Esteem driveline repair.

Key Features

• First-generation compact wheel bearing unit
• Preset bearing clearance for controlled operation
• Lifetime lubrication and sealing
• Angular contact ball bearing design for front and rear wheel use in applicable designs
• Inside diameter: 40 mm (1.575 in)
• Outside diameter: 72 mm (2.835 in)
• Height: 36 mm (1.417 in)

Detailed Description

FAG 102400 is engineered as a sealed, maintenance-free wheel bearing assembly for front axle applications on Suzuki Swift and Suzuki Esteem models listed in the fitment data. Its compact construction and angular contact ball bearing design are suited to demanding road conditions where stable wheel support and low-maintenance operation matter. This part cross-references SKF FW146 and National 510018 for the same application.

Use the FAG 102400 when replacing a worn or noisy front wheel bearing on 1989-1994 Suzuki Swift or 1995-2002 Suzuki Esteem. The defined internal clearance and sealed lubrication package help maintain consistent bearing performance over time.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Front wheel bearing noise or growling
• Excessive wheel play or looseness
• Rough rotation during hub inspection
• Seal wear that allows contamination into the bearing
• Restoring proper front wheel support on Suzuki Swift and Suzuki Esteem

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, model, and front position before ordering. Inspect the hub, spindle, and surrounding components for wear or scoring before installation. Because this is a sealed bearing unit, clean mating surfaces and correct press-fit procedures are important for proper seating and long service life.

Quality Assurance

FAG is known for precision bearing engineering and OE-level driveline component design. The 102400 wheel bearing is manufactured as a sealed, lubricated unit with preset clearance to support consistent performance in front-wheel applications.
