Detailed Description

FAG WR0223 is a wheel bearing retaining ring built for front driveline and axle service where a correctly sized retaining clip is needed to hold the bearing assembly in position. FAG supplies chassis-related repair components such as retaining clips, ABS cables, and bolts, and this ring follows that same service-focused approach for bearing retention. This part cross-references SKF CIR35 and Timken RET35 for the same application.

The part number WR0223 is also listed across multiple OE-style replacement catalogs for these front applications.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or improperly retained front wheel bearing assemblies
• Noise caused by bearing movement in the hub area
• Service issues after front hub or bearing replacement
• Incorrect ring size during wheel bearing repair
• Fitment mismatch on front bearing retaining hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the bearing groove and ring dimensions before installation, especially on Chevrolet Aveo5 and Pontiac G3 applications with stamped size notes. Match the retaining ring to the front position only, and verify the inside diameter, outside diameter, and width against the removed part before assembly. WR0223 is a hardware component, so proper seating in the groove is critical for secure bearing retention.

Quality Assurance

FAG is a recognized chassis and driveline component supplier, and this retaining ring is produced to support professional repair standards for front wheel bearing service. Verify vehicle-specific fitment before ordering, including the listed Chevrolet Spark, Chevrolet Aveo, and Honda Civic applications.
