It is a practical choice for fleets and professional technicians seeking a reliable OE-form/fit/function solution with minimal maintenance requirements. Backed by SKF’s bearing manufacturing expertise, this assembly is a robust option for restoring smooth wheel operation and predictable performance in rear axle positions.
