Detailed Description

SKF FW178 is a front wheel bearing designed around exact dimensional requirements: 1.500-inch inside diameter, 2.756-inch outside diameter, and 1.456-inch width. Those measurements matter for proper hub and spindle fit, especially on compact import platforms where wheel-end tolerances are critical. This bearing is used on front applications for 1996-2017 Hyundai Accent, 1996-2000 Hyundai Elantra, 1997-2001 Hyundai Tiburon, 2006-2011 Kia Rio, 2006-2011 Kia Rio5, 2004-2006 Dodge Verna, and 2006-2014 Dodge Attitude. The SKF FW178 is a practical choice when you need a front wheel bearing for Hyundai Accent front service or a Kia Rio front wheel bearing replacement.

SKF has more than a century of wheel-end engineering experience, and this part reflects that focus on long service life and stable operation. This part cross-references 51720-02000 for the same application.

What This Wheel Bearing Helps Address
