FAQs

What vehicles is the SKF VKBA 1358 compatible with?

This kit is compatible with specific VW models, including the Corrado, Jetta Mk2, and Caddy Mk2. Always confirm compatibility with your vehicle's year and exact model.

Does this kit include all the parts needed for replacement?

Yes, the kit includes one SKF bearing (SKF01606) and one SKF assortment of fasteners (SKF03084).

What are the dimensions of the bearing?

The bearing has a width of 37 mm, an outer diameter of 72 mm, and an inner diameter of 40 mm.

Can I install this myself?

Installation requires specialized tools and mechanical knowledge of suspension systems. If you are not experienced, it is recommended to have a professional mechanic install the kit.

How long should a wheel bearing last?

The lifespan of a wheel bearing can vary significantly based on driving conditions, maintenance, and the quality of the part. However, a properly installed, high-quality bearing like this SKF unit should provide many years of service under normal use.

What should I do if I hear noise after installation?

If you hear noise after installation, double-check that all components were installed correctly and torqued to specification. Ensure the wheel hub was clean and undamaged. If the problem persists, consult a qualified mechanic.

Troubleshooting

Noise or vibration persists after installation

Ensure all fasteners are torqued to the correct specifications. Check that the wheel hub is clean and free from damage. Verify that the correct bearing was installed and that no other suspension components are worn.

Difficulty installing the bearing

Confirm that the correct part number for your vehicle is being used. Ensure you have the necessary specialized tools (bearing press, pullers). The wheel hub may require cleaning or minor repair if corroded.

New bearing failed prematurely

This can indicate improper installation (e.g., bent race, damage during pressing) or an issue with the vehicle's suspension system (e.g., bent knuckle, improper alignment). Re-examine the installation and the surrounding components.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides all necessary components for a wheel bearing replacement.
  • Utilizes a quality bearing from a trusted manufacturer (SKF).
  • Ensures proper fitment for compatible VW models.
  • Simplifies the parts sourcing process for specific repairs.

Cons

  • Requires specialized tools and mechanical expertise for installation.
  • Compatibility is limited to specific VW models; requires careful verification.
  • May require additional specialized maintenance fluids or greases not included in the kit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the SKF VKBA 1358 Wheel Bearing Kit requires a thorough understanding of vehicle suspension and wheel hub mechanics. It typically involves:

  1. Safely lifting and securing the vehicle.
  2. Removing the wheel, brake caliper, and rotor.
  3. Using appropriate pullers and presses to remove the old bearing and install the new SKF bearing.
  4. Installing the new fasteners provided in the kit.
  5. Reassembling the brake components and wheel.
  6. Torquing all fasteners to the manufacturer's specifications.

Compatibility:

This kit is specifically designed for various Volkswagen models, including:

  • VW Corrado
  • VW Jetta Mk2
  • VW Caddy Mk2

Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's specific year and model before purchase. Cross-reference part numbers like A.B.S. 200007 or AUGROS 5183800/1 if unsure.

Care:

Wheel bearings are typically sealed and require no user maintenance after installation. However, proper installation is critical. Ensure the hub is clean and free of debris before installation. Avoid excessive force during installation, which can damage the new bearing. If the bearing fails prematurely, it may indicate an issue with installation or other suspension components.
