Description

Keep a new rear wheel bearing firmly held in place with the SKF Wheel Bearing Retaining Ring CIR259. This C-clip retainer is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2010 Ford Explorer, 2002-2010 Mercury Mountaineer, 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator and 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and is cataloged for the rear position on these applications.

C-clip retainers are used with generation one wheel bearings to hold the bearing inside the knuckle. Used C-clips often rust or get damaged during use or removal, and rust weakens them. SKF therefore recommends fitting a new clip every time a hub bearing unit is installed, rather than reusing the old one.

Heat-treated high-carbon steel: helps the clip resist shape distortion.
Built to OEM tolerances: engineered to OEM specifications and tolerances for an exact fit.
Bearing retention: designed to help secure the wheel bearing and support longer bearing life.
Install-time replacement: intended to be replaced with a new clip whenever a hub bearing is installed.

SKF has served engineers, technicians and mechanics for more than 100 years, with products covering a wide range of applications.

2002-2010 Ford Explorer

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the SKF CIR259 retaining ring do?

It is a C-clip retainer that holds a generation one wheel bearing inside the knuckle. It is cataloged for the rear position on the listed Ford, Mercury and Lincoln applications.

Can I reuse my old C-clip?

SKF advises against it. Used C-clips often rust or get damaged during use or removal, which weakens them, so fit a new clip whenever you install a hub bearing.

What is the CIR259 made of?

SKF lists heat-treated high-carbon steel, which helps the clip resist shape distortion.

Which vehicles does the CIR259 fit?

It fits the 2002-2010 Ford Explorer, 2002-2010 Mercury Mountaineer, 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator and 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.

When should the retaining ring be replaced?

Replace it any time a rear hub bearing is installed, or if the clip is rusted, bent or damaged. A weakened clip may not hold the bearing securely in the knuckle.
