Detailed Description

SKF B36 is a wheel bearing engineered for front axle service on select Honda models, including Honda Civic, Honda Accord, and Honda Prelude. The bearing dimensions are critical for proper fitment: 1.378 in. inside diameter, 2.834 in. outside diameter, and 1.338 in. width. Those measurements make this part a precise match for applications that call for the B36 specification. SKF B36 is a practical choice for restoring smooth wheel rotation and maintaining correct bearing support in front-end driveline service.

SKF has a long history in bearing technology, beginning with the first self-aligning ball bearing in 1907. That engineering background is reflected in the company’s focus on controlled load handling, low-friction operation, and manufacturing consistency. This part cross-references 1458B36 and 9759B36 for the same application.
