Detailed Description

Timken 518506 is a direct-fit wheel bearing and hub assembly for front-position Toyota Camry models from 1983-1991. The assembly uses precision-profile bearings with uniform internal geometry and refined surface finishes to support load capacity, bearing life, and fuel efficiency. Low runout helps reduce vibration and noise while supporting consistent braking feel. This part cross-references SKF BR930200K for the same application.

For Toyota Camry front hub service, Timken 518506 provides the dimensional accuracy and bearing construction expected in a replacement wheel hub assembly. It is a practical choice when servicing a worn front wheel bearing, noisy hub, or ABS-related wheel-speed concern on compatible Toyota Camry vehicles.

What It Helps Fix

• Front wheel bearing noise or growling
• Hub play or looseness at the wheel
• Brake vibration related to hub runout
• ABS wheel-speed signal issues
• Uneven rolling resistance from a worn hub assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, bolt circle, flange diameter, and pilot dimensions before installation. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly and inspect the knuckle, axle interface, and ABS connector condition before fitting the new assembly. For 1983-1991 Toyota Camry front service, confirm the vehicle’s driven front hub configuration and compare the old unit to Timken 518506 before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Timken manufactures hub bearing assemblies using OE-developed test procedures that control design, materials, and production process. The ABS sensor is fully tested, and the seal design is built to help exclude contamination and support long service life.
