This tapered roller bearing is designed for the front axle assembly of the host machine. It supports radial and axial loads from the wheel hub, maintaining proper wheel alignment and axle geometry. A worn bearing produces a growling noise during turns and can lead to excessive hub play, which accelerates tire wear and damages the spindle. SKF manufactures this bearing to the original dimensional tolerances, so it seats correctly in the hub and on the spindle without the need for shimming. On installation, clean the spindle bore and apply grease to the bearing surfaces.
