Product Details

SKF CIR115 is a C-clip style wheel bearing retainer made for securing the bearing inside the steering knuckle after hub or bearing service. Used clips often corrode, distort, or lose tension during removal, so replacing the retaining ring during wheel bearing or hub unit installation helps restore a secure fit. SKF manufactures this retaining ring to meet or exceed OEM requirements, supporting consistent retention and long service life in applications including 2005-2016 Kia Sportage rear AWD, 2005-2015 Hyundai Tucson rear, and 2010-2012 Nissan X-Trail front.

This part cross-references OE numbers 40214-3Z000 and 52718-26500 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Helps Address

  • Rusted or damaged wheel bearing retaining ring during hub service
  • Loose bearing retention inside the steering knuckle
  • Improper seating after wheel bearing replacement
  • Noise or movement caused by a worn C-clip retainer
  • Repeat repair from reusing a fatigued retaining ring

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the steering knuckle groove before installation and clean away corrosion or debris so the ring seats fully. Replace any retaining ring that shows rust, deformation, or loss of spring tension. Confirm the application by year, make, model, and position before service; this part is listed for front and rear applications across vehicles such as the Ford Ranger, Ford Taurus, and Nissan Altima.

Quality Assurance

SKF has more than 100 years of engineering and manufacturing experience, and its products are built to meet or exceed test requirements for long service life. CIR115 is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for dependable wheel bearing retention.
