What This Wheel Bearing Helps Address

• Wheel-end noise caused by worn bearing surfaces
• Excessive wheel play or looseness at the hub area
• Rough rotation or vibration from a deteriorated bearing unit
• Loss of smooth wheel movement in front or rear applications
• Service issues related to a sealed bearing that has reached wear limits

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bearing dimensions and vehicle position before installation. Confirm the application by year, make, model, and front or rear location, especially on Buick Encore, Chevrolet Sonic, Chevrolet Trax, and Chevrolet Spark EV listings. Inspect the hub, knuckle, and related mounting surfaces for wear or damage before installing the new bearing.

Because this is a sealed, lifetime-lubricated bearing unit, do not attempt to repack or service the internal lubrication. Proper press-fit or hub-service procedures should be followed according to the vehicle service information.

Quality Assurance

FAG is part of the Schaeffler bearing family, and this 563644 wheel bearing is built to the dimensional and design requirements listed above for consistent fitment and wheel-end performance.
