Help keep the rear wheels turning smoothly under load with the Schaeffler Wheel Bearing K45291, a tapered roller bearing cone for the rear inner position. It is listed for the 1995-2002 Dodge Ram 4000, the 1995-2002 Ram 4000, and the 1996-1998 Dodge Ram 3500 Van. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

Tapered roller bearings do essential work in a wide range of mechanical systems, combining strong performance with a compact form for automotive and industrial needs. Schaeffler builds more than 100 million tapered roller bearings every year, which makes it a leader in the bearing industry.

  • Load-carrying capacity: Designed to handle high radial and axial loads.
  • Compact design: Fits into tight spaces in compact machinery and components.
  • Durability and performance: Engineered with high-grade materials for dependable service.
  • OE expertise: Designed and built to stringent OEM standards for consistent quality.

The bearing cone carries the rollers that run against a mating cup (race). This lets the wheel rotate while the bearing helps support the vehicle's weight at the rear inner position. A growling or humming noise that changes with road speed, roughness, or play at the wheel can be signs that a wheel bearing may need replacing. Diagnose the cause first. If a worn rear inner bearing is the source, this cone replaces it. Inspect the mating cup, and follow the vehicle service information for correct installation, lubrication, and adjustment.
