What It Helps Address

• Rear wheel bearing noise such as growling or rumbling
• Excessive wheel-end play from worn bearing surfaces
• Rough wheel rotation caused by bearing wear
• Heat buildup from deteriorated tapered rollers
• Service issues on rear wheel bearing replacement jobs

Installation Notes

Verify inside diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation. Clean and inspect the hub, spindle, and related sealing surfaces, and replace any worn components that could affect bearing life. Proper bearing preload and lubrication are important during rear wheel bearing service, especially on applications like Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.
