OE-Grade Wheel End Replacement

The SKF BR930249 is a front wheel bearing and hub assembly engineered for Volvo vehicles from 1994 to 1998, including the Volvo 850 model line. This pre‑adjusted, bolt‑on unit combines the bearing and hub to eliminate separate component handling and field preload setting. Manufactured to original equipment specifications, the BR930249 is tested for fit, form, and function to help restore proper wheel alignment, smooth rotation, and consistent braking performance in everyday service.

Design and Installation Details

Built for straightforward replacement, the assembly features a 5.3543 in flange diameter with five mounting bolts and a 2.559 in wheel pilot diameter for proper rotor and wheel centering. A 0.99 in inner diameter and 26 splines provide positive axle engagement, while the 1.6929 in flange offset maintains correct geometry. The integrated, pre‑adjusted design reduces installation time and variability by removing the need for shims or in‑field bearing adjustment. Suitable for front left or right positions, it offers an efficient path to return vehicles to OE performance.

Coverage and Assurance

Application coverage includes select Volvo models from 1994–1998 (verify by year, model, and axle details), notably the 850. SKF wheel end technology is original equipment on more than 90 million vehicles worldwide, and this replacement hub assembly reflects that heritage with OE‑equivalent validation and durability. Cross‑reference equivalents include Timken HA594181, FAG FW9174/574566BE, Raybestos 713174, and Volvo 271786‑6 (confirm exact interchange before ordering).
