One 6206 part number carries several names because the same deep groove ball bearing does different jobs across these vehicles. Depending on the application, it is cataloged for front, rear, right, inner, outer or front forward positions.
- Deep groove ball bearing: Schaeffler's DGBB supports a rotating shaft and lets it turn with low friction.
- Durable design: Built from high-quality materials for reliable performance across driving conditions.
- OE conformance: Designed to meet or surpass original equipment manufacturer specifications.
- Proven expertise: Draws on decades as a top OEM supplier and more than 130 years of Schaeffler chassis experience to deliver precision-engineered components.
Signs that a shaft bearing may need replacing include a growling, whining or rumbling noise that changes with vehicle speed, roughness, or noticeable play. Other driveline components can make similar noises, so diagnose the source before replacing anything. If a worn bearing at this location is the cause, the 6206 replaces it. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct installation procedure.
