Detailed Description

This National wheel bearing race is engineered as a taper bearing cup for front inner service where precise bearing support matters. The 26823 uses a crowned raceway profile to help maintain consistent contact and load distribution, while the steel construction supports demanding axle and hub conditions. It is a fitment-based replacement for 1985-1999 Chevrolet P30 front inner applications with I-Beam Axle, and 1992-2000 Chevrolet C3500 front inner and GMC C3500 front inner applications with 15,000 lb GVW. It also fits 1985-1999 GMC P3500 front inner applications with I-Beam Axle.

What It Helps Address

• Wheel bearing noise caused by worn or pitted race surfaces
• Uneven bearing wear from damaged cup geometry
• Front hub looseness related to race deterioration
• Heat and friction issues from compromised bearing contact
• Service replacement needs on Chevrolet C3500, Chevrolet P30, GMC C3500, and GMC P3500 front inner wheel bearings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify cup bore, length, and radius against the original part before installation. Press the race into the hub or bearing assembly using proper bearing service tools to avoid distortion or surface damage. Clean the hub thoroughly, inspect the matching bearing rollers, and replace any worn companion components at the same time. Confirm vehicle application details for Chevrolet C3500, GMC C3500, Chevrolet P30, and GMC P3500 front inner positions before assembly.
