Application Details

Compatible With 2003-2019 Toyota Corolla, front; 2003-2013 Toyota Matrix, front; 2003-2010 Pontiac Vibe, front; and 2000-2005 Toyota Celica, front. Timken RET188 is a practical replacement when servicing front wheel bearing assemblies on these vehicles, including common Toyota Corolla front wheel bearing retaining ring and Toyota Matrix front hub service jobs.

What It Helps Address

  • Loose or damaged wheel bearing retaining ring
  • Retention issues during front hub or bearing service
  • Difficulty removing or installing the original snap ring
  • Wear from a ring that does not seat cleanly in the bore

Installation Notes

Use standard snap ring pliers and confirm the ring is fully seated in the groove before reassembly. Inspect the bore and surrounding components for wear or scoring during service. Verify front-position application and match the vehicle year and model before installation.
