What It Helps Fix

• Wheel noise such as humming or growling from a worn bearing
• Excessive wheel play or looseness at the hub
• Rough wheel rotation caused by bearing wear
• Vibration or instability related to hub support wear
• Failed bearing service on listed Audi and Volkswagen front or rear positions

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, model, position, and chassis/VIN notes before ordering. Several applications are limited by wheel size or VIN breakpoints, including 2002 Audi A6 and A6 Quattro front fitment with 16-inch wheels and specific chassis ranges. Compare the bearing dimensions, hub bore, and mounting profile to the removed part before installation. Professional installation is recommended because wheel bearing service typically requires proper press tools and accurate torque procedures.

Quality Assurance

VAICO parts are cataloged with exact dimensional data and vehicle-specific fitment references to support accurate replacement selection. The V10-0049 listing includes OE-style interchange references and application notes for Audi and Volkswagen service work.
