NSK 44BWK02N Wheel Bearing - Rear Right

Rear Right Wheel Bearing for Lexus and Toyota

NSK 44BWK02N is a rear right wheel bearing assembly built for select Lexus and Toyota applications. It combines OE-style fitment with a sealed design, ABS magnetic encoder technology, and low-friction bearing construction for consistent wheel support and sensor performance.

Key Features

• Premium OE technology with vehicle-specific fit, form, and performance
• Long-life, low-friction bearing with superfinished, precision-matched raceway
• Advanced multi-lip seal design for water and contamination resistance
• Sealed-for-life construction with premium all-weather grease
• Integrated magnetic encoder seal for immediate ABS sensor response
• ABS equipped with magnetic encoder type
• Rear right position for non-driven applications

Detailed Description

NSK 44BWK02N is engineered as a rear right wheel bearing for the Lexus GX460, Lexus GX470, Toyota 4Runner, and Toyota FJ Cruiser. It is ABS equipped and uses a magnetic encoder, which supports wheel speed signal delivery at the hub. The sealed bearing design reduces routine service needs while the multi-lip sealing system helps resist moisture and road contamination. NSK’s manufacturing focus on bearing life and operating performance makes this a practical replacement for vehicles that need stable hub support and reliable ABS function. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Wheel bearing noise from worn hub components
• ABS warning lights caused by encoder or sensor signal issues
• Excessive hub play or looseness at the rear right wheel
• Contamination-related bearing wear from water or debris intrusion
• Reduced wheel support and uneven hub operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear right fitment before ordering. This bearing is for non-driven applications and should be matched to the vehicle’s ABS encoder style and hub dimensions. Inspect the knuckle, axle area, and surrounding mounting surfaces for wear or damage before installation. Proper torque procedures and clean mating surfaces are important for correct hub alignment and ABS performance.
