Help keep a rear wheel turning smoothly on its axle with the NSK wheel bearing, part number 49BWD02. It is a direct-fit replacement for the rear position on many Lexus models, among them the 2002-2010 Lexus SC430, 1998-2005 Lexus GS300 and 2001-2005 Lexus GS430.
A wheel bearing supports the wheel and lets it rotate with low friction while the vehicle carries its load. Over time, wear or contamination can make a bearing noisy or loose.
Signs a rear wheel bearing may need replacing: a humming, rumbling or growling noise that changes with vehicle speed, play or looseness at the wheel, or roughness felt while driving. Other components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the source before replacing parts. If a worn wheel bearing is behind the noise on your 1998-2005 Lexus GS300, this NSK unit replaces it.
See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engine-specific fitment.
