Key Features

• Inside diameter: 2.923 in.

Detailed Description

SKF CIR119 is used to hold the wheel bearing in place inside the steering knuckle on compatible front hub assemblies. Because used C-clips can rust, distort, or become damaged during removal, replacing the retaining ring during hub or bearing service helps restore a secure bearing seat. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 4021430R00 for the same application. Compatible With 1988-2002 INFINITI G20, front; 1996-1999 INFINITI I30, front; 1993-2001 Nissan Altima, front; and 1988-1991 Nissan Maxima, front. The SKF CIR119 retaining ring is built to OEM-level dimensional requirements for select Nissan Maxima, Altima, G20, and I30 front wheel bearing service.

What It Helps Solve

• Loose or insecure wheel bearing retention in the steering knuckle
• Rust-damaged or bent original C-clips
• Improper bearing seating after hub or bearing replacement
• Front-end noise caused by worn retaining hardware
• Repeat service issues from reusing damaged clips

Installation Notes and Tips

Install SKF CIR119 during wheel bearing or hub service whenever the original retaining ring shows corrosion, deformation, or wear. Verify the ring dimensions against the bearing and knuckle before assembly, and ensure the clip is fully seated in the retaining groove. For fitment-specific service, confirm the vehicle is a front application before ordering. Fits 1988-2002 INFINITI G20, front; 1996-1999 INFINITI I30, front; 1993-2001 Nissan Altima, front; and 1988-1991 Nissan Maxima, front.
