FAQs

What vehicles is this wheel bearing kit compatible with?

This kit (MPN: 170371) is designed for specific rear axle applications. Compatibility must be verified against your vehicle's make, model, and year using the provided dimensions (48mm width, 62mm outer diameter, 30mm inner diameter) and consulting a professional or parts catalog.

Does this kit include everything needed for replacement?

The kit includes the wheel bearing, axle nut, and retaining ring. However, additional hardware such as seals, cotter pins, or brake components may need to be sourced separately depending on your vehicle and the condition of existing parts.

What is the purpose of the NBR sealing lips?

NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) sealing lips are designed to create a barrier that prevents dirt, water, and other debris from entering the wheel bearing assembly, which helps to maintain lubrication and extend the bearing's lifespan.

Can I install this myself?

Wheel bearing replacement is a complex task that often requires specialized tools and mechanical knowledge. It is highly recommended to have this kit installed by a qualified automotive technician to ensure proper fitment and safety.

How do I know if my rear wheel bearing needs replacing?

Common signs include a humming or grinding noise from the rear that changes with speed, clicking sounds when turning, or noticeable looseness or wobble in the wheel.

What is the warranty on this product?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale. Please refer to your purchase documentation or contact the seller for details regarding the warranty specific to this Febi Bilstein part.

Troubleshooting

Grinding or humming noise from the rear wheel after installation

Ensure the bearing was correctly seated and the axle nut was torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. A slightly overtightened or undertightened nut can cause premature failure or noise. Check for any debris trapped during installation.

Wheel has excessive play or looseness

Re-check the torque of the axle nut. The bearing may not be fully seated against the knuckle or hub. Inspect the hub and knuckle for any damage that might prevent a secure fit.

Kit components do not seem to fit

Double-check that you have ordered the correct part number for your vehicle's specific application. Verify all dimensions against your old bearing and consult a parts catalog or mechanic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, it is critical to confirm that this wheel bearing kit (MPN: 170371) is compatible with your specific vehicle's make, model, year, and rear axle configuration. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a qualified mechanic. Ensure all dimensions (width 48mm, outer diameter 62mm, inner diameter 30mm) match your existing bearing.

Installation: Installation of a wheel bearing kit typically requires the removal of the wheel, brake components, and potentially other suspension parts. It is strongly recommended that this procedure be performed by a trained automotive technician using appropriate tools. The kit includes an axle nut and retaining ring; ensure these are installed correctly as per manufacturer specifications.

Care: Wheel bearings are sealed units designed for minimal maintenance. However, avoid high-pressure washing directly at the wheel hub area, as this can force contaminants past the seals. If you hear any unusual noises from the rear wheels after installation, have the bearing checked immediately.
