SKF LM78349 Wheel Bearing - Rear

SKF LM78349 Wheel Bearing

SKF LM78349 is a tapered roller wheel bearing built for driveline and axle service where precise fit and smooth rotation matter. With a 1.377-inch inside diameter and 0.657-inch width, it is sized for applications that call for a compact, high-load bearing design.

Key Features

• Tapered roller bearing design for controlled load handling
• 1.377-inch inside diameter for application-specific fitment
• 0.657-inch width for compact hub and axle assemblies
• Logarithmic roller raceway profile for smoother rolling contact
• Fine surface finish to support quiet operation
• SKF LM78349 engineered to meet or exceed common application requirements

Detailed Description

SKF LM78349 is part of SKF’s tapered roller bearing range, developed for wheel-end and axle applications that require stable performance under load. The bearing geometry uses a logarithmic raceway profile and a smooth finished surface to reduce friction and promote consistent rotation. For service work on vehicles such as Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla applications that specify this bearing size, LM78349 provides a direct-fit solution when the application calls for the listed dimensions. The SKF LM78349 part number is also commonly searched by technicians and parts buyers looking for a wheel bearing with verified dimensional specs.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Wheel-end noise caused by worn bearing surfaces
• Excessive play from a deteriorated tapered roller bearing
• Rough or inconsistent wheel rotation
• Heat and friction from aged axle bearing components
• Service replacement needs for LM78349 wheel bearing applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the inside diameter and width against the original bearing before installation. Clean and inspect the hub, spindle, and related sealing surfaces, and follow the vehicle service manual for bearing preload, torque, and lubrication procedures. For fitment-based searches, verify the exact Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla application by year and position before ordering SKF LM78349.
