Schaeffler Wheel Bearing Kit P/N:WB61008K
Support smooth front-wheel rotation on your vintage Mercedes-Benz with the Schaeffler Wheel Bearing Kit WB66743K, a front wheel set built around taper roller bearings (TRB). It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1973-1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SE and the 1973-1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.
The front wheel bearings let each wheel spin freely on its spindle while holding it in position under cornering and braking loads. Signs that a wheel bearing may need replacing include a humming or grinding noise that changes with road speed, play or looseness in the wheel, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Tapered roller wheel bearings need correct adjustment. Follow the vehicle service information for installation, lubrication and fastener torque.
