What This Wheel Bearing Helps Address

• Wheel noise or growling from a worn bearing
• Excessive wheel play caused by bearing wear
• Rough rotation from loss of lubrication
• Seal failure that allows contamination into the bearing
• Service issues on sealed hub-style bearing applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position and year before ordering, since this bearing is used in both front and rear applications across multiple makes and models. Confirm the 42 mm inside diameter, 76 mm outside diameter, and 39 mm height against the original part before installation. Proper press-fit handling and clean mating surfaces are important for bearing life and correct seating.

Quality Assurance

FAG is known for precision bearing engineering, and this 102402 wheel bearing follows the brand’s first-generation sealed unit design with preset clearance and lifetime lubrication. The sealed construction is intended to deliver consistent performance in demanding wheel-bearing service.
