Product Details

Timken is known for tapered roller bearing engineering, and the 15118 follows that approach with a design aimed at durability and stable performance in wheel-end service. For vehicles such as Chevrolet and Ford applications that use this bearing specification, Timken 15118 supports reliable wheel bearing replacement where load capacity and long service life are priorities. The cone and cup should be replaced together to maintain proper bearing performance and reliability.

Common Repair Uses

• Wheel bearing noise during driving
• Excessive wheel-end play or looseness
• Rough rotation in the hub assembly
• Wear from heat, contamination, or mileage

Installation Notes

Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces before installation. Clean all mating components thoroughly and verify the bearing race and cone match the application. Timken 15118 should be installed with the matching cup and cone set replaced together, and bearing preload or end play should be set to the vehicle specification.
