Fitment and Application Details

Compatible with 1993-2002 Mercury Villager, front, and 1993-2002 Nissan Quest, front. This FAG 102412 wheel bearing is designed for the front axle position on these vehicles and is cross-referenced to National 510028 and SKF FW154 for the same application.

The bearing’s compact construction helps package the hub area efficiently while the sealed design keeps lubrication contained for long service intervals. Its angular contact ball bearing layout supports front-wheel loads and rotation demands found in everyday driving, making it a direct replacement choice for Nissan Quest front wheel bearing and Mercury Villager front wheel bearing service.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Wheel noise from a worn or rough front bearing
• Excessive play or looseness at the wheel hub
• Grease loss or contamination in a serviceable bearing assembly
• Uneven wheel rotation caused by bearing wear
• Front-end vibration related to bearing deterioration

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and front position before installation. Inspect the hub, spindle, and surrounding components for wear or damage, and replace any parts that show scoring or distortion. Press-fit bearing service should be handled with proper tools to avoid damaging the bearing surfaces.
