Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bearing dimensions and transmission type before installation, especially Mazda and Toyo Kogyo transmission applications. Inspect related transmission components for wear, contamination, or scoring so the replacement bearing can seat correctly and operate as intended. Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and front-position fitment against the application list before assembly.
