Product Details

The SKF CIR63 retaining ring is a precision-fit C-clip retainer for wheel bearing service. Its measured dimensions help ensure proper seating during installation, while SKF manufacturing standards are aimed at consistent fit and long service life. This part is commonly used when servicing hub units on vehicles such as the Ford Fiesta, Ford Focus, and Ford EcoSport, where a secure retaining ring is critical to keeping the bearing positioned correctly in the knuckle.

This part cross-references Ford OE numbers 90681SR3A10 and BE8Z7059A for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rust or corrosion on the original retaining ring
• Damage from removal during bearing or hub service

Installation Notes and Tips

• Replace the retaining ring whenever the original clip is rusted, bent, or damaged.
• Verify the ring seats fully in the knuckle groove before reassembling the hub.
• Confirm the bearing style and dimensions match the application before installation.
