Help secure a new hub bearing in its bore with the SKF Wheel Bearing Retaining Ring CIR48, a C-clip retainer engineered to OEM specifications and tolerances for an exact fit. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2006-2021 Honda Civic, 2003-2007 Honda Accord and 2013-2014 Honda Fit; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. It is listed for front and rear applications, depending on the vehicle.
C-clip retainers like this one are used with Generation 1 wheel bearings to hold the bearing inside the knuckle. Clips that have been in service often rust or get damaged during removal. SKF recommends fitting a new clip whenever a hub bearing is installed so the bearing is held securely.
- Exact fit: Made to OEM specifications and tolerances.
- Heat-treated high-carbon steel: Designed to resist shape distortion.
- Replace, don't reuse: Rust weakens a used C-clip, so a fresh clip is recommended with every hub bearing installation.
- Front and rear applications: Cataloged for front and rear positions, depending on the vehicle.
Signs this part may need replacing include a clip that is rusted or was damaged while the old bearing was removed.
