SKF Drive Axle Shaft Bearing Lock Ring P/N:R271
Lock the rear axle shaft bearing securely in place with the SKF Drive Axle Shaft Bearing Lock Ring / Wheel Bearing Retaining Ring RGRW108. This rear-position retaining ring drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2004 Chevrolet Tracker, 1999-2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara, and 1999-2004 Suzuki Vitara — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. It is cataloged under both names, so it may appear as either a lock ring or a retaining ring.
The lock ring seats against the rear drive axle shaft bearing to keep it correctly located on the shaft, preventing the bearing from shifting under load. If a worn, deformed, or missing ring is allowing the bearing to move, replacing it restores proper retention. Signs the ring may need attention include a loose or wandering axle bearing, unusual play, or noise traced to the rear axle assembly during service. Always diagnose the cause before replacing, and consult the vehicle service information for the correct installation procedure.
