SKF, short for Svenska Kullagerfabriken, is a world leader in bearing technology, founded in Sweden in 1907. With over a century of expertise, SKF has become synonymous with high-precision components trusted by leading car manufacturers and aftermarket professionals alike.
SKF wheel bearings are engineered to support radial and axial loads while enabling smooth wheel rotation. Designed with advanced sealing systems and made from premium materials, these bearings are essential for maintaining vehicle stability, reducing rolling resistance, and ensuring safe driving.
Key Benefits of SKF Wheel Bearings
✅ Exceptional Durability: Made from heat-treated high-grade steel and equipped with optimized seals to resist dirt, moisture, and wear.
✅ Maintenance-Free Design: Many SKF bearings come as sealed hub units, pre-lubricated and ready for installation—no additional greasing or servicing required.
✅ Noise and Vibration Reduction: Engineered for smooth and quiet operation, enhancing driver comfort and vehicle performance.
✅ OE-Level Performance: SKF wheel bearings are designed to match or exceed the quality and lifespan of original parts used by top automotive brands.
Common Applications
SKF wheel bearings are widely used in:
- Passenger cars (sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs)
- Light and heavy trucks
- Commercial vehicles
- Electric and hybrid vehicles
They are available in various configurations, including tapered roller bearings, hub units (HUB1, HUB2, HUB3 types), and bearings with integrated ABS sensors.
How to Replace a Wheel Bearing: Step-by-Step Guide
Replacing a wheel bearing requires precision and care. Here’s a simplified overview of the process:
- Secure the Vehicle
Park on a level surface, use wheel chocks, then lift and support the vehicle with jack stands. - Remove the Wheel and Brake Assembly
Take off the tire, brake caliper, caliper bracket, and rotor. - Disconnect Sensors and Unbolt the Hub
If equipped with ABS, disconnect the sensor. Then unbolt the old hub or bearing unit using the appropriate tools. - Install the New SKF Bearing
Clean the mounting area, align the new bearing or hub, and secure it using manufacturer torque specs. - Reassemble and Test
Reinstall all components in reverse order. Lower the vehicle and test drive to check for abnormal noise or dashboard alerts.
Tip: Always use a torque wrench and consult the vehicle’s service manual for specifications. If unsure, seek professional help.
