Detailed Description

Timken SET49 is a wheel bearing and race set engineered around tapered roller bearing construction, which is commonly used where durability, load capacity, and stable wheel rotation matter. The bearing geometry supports both side load and vertical load management, making it a practical choice for service on vehicles such as the Ford Mustang rear, Ford Ranger rear, Chrysler PT Cruiser front, and Kia Sorento front. The Timken SET49 part number is also useful when cross-checking replacement needs against National 513058 and SKF BR930541K, FW115.

Timken’s tapered roller bearing components are known for compact packaging with strong load-carrying capability. For service work, replacing the cone and cup together helps restore proper bearing fit and running condition. This part is used in applications including 1999-2004 Ford Mustang rear, 2003-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser front, and 2005-2015 Hyundai Tucson rear.

Common Problems This Part Helps Address

• Wheel bearing noise such as growling or rumbling
• Excessive wheel play from worn bearing surfaces
• Rough wheel rotation caused by damaged cones or cups
• Load instability in front or rear hub service applications
• Fitment issues when replacing only one bearing component instead of the matched set

Installation Notes and Tips

• Replace the inner cone and outer cup together for proper service results.
• Verify bearing dimensions before installation: 1.653 in. cone ID and 2.992 in. cup OD.
• Confirm vehicle position and year-specific fitment before ordering, especially on Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Lincoln Continental applications with date-specific notes.
• Use clean, properly packed bearing surfaces and follow the vehicle service manual for preload and torque procedures.
