Detailed Description

The Timken SET406 wheel bearing and race set is a precision tapered roller bearing component used in wheel-end assemblies that require stable load support and long service life. Timken’s bearing engineering focuses on managing both side load and vertical load, which is important in front wheel bearing service, axle hubs, and other driveline applications where heat, wear, and load transfer affect performance. For Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla repair work, this part number is commonly searched as a wheel bearing and race set for service matching the original bearing dimensions.

Part number SET406 is identified by a 1.750-inch cone inside diameter and a 3.672-inch cup outside diameter, making dimensional verification important before installation. If you are replacing a worn wheel bearing on a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, confirm the bearing dimensions against the hub or spindle specification before assembly. Timken SET406 is also referenced by SKF SET406 and National HD205.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Wheel bearing noise such as humming, growling, or rumbling
• Excessive wheel-end play caused by worn bearing surfaces
• Rough rotation or vibration from damaged tapered rollers
• Heat buildup in the hub area from bearing wear
• Loss of wheel-end stability during braking or cornering

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the cone and cup together to maintain proper bearing contact and service life. Clean the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces thoroughly before assembly, and pack the bearing with the correct wheel bearing grease if the application requires it. Verify all dimensions, including cone inside diameter and cup outside diameter, before installation on Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla wheel bearing service applications.

Quality Assurance

Timken is recognized globally for tapered roller bearing engineering and technical support. SET406 is built to Timken dimensional standards for wheel-end service, with the cone and cup designed to work as a matched bearing and race set for reliable fit and load management.
