Timken Wheel Bearing P/N:M12649

Keep your front wheels turning smoothly and quietly with the Timken Wheel Bearing M12649, a front outer wheel bearing that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1985-2002 Chevrolet Astro, the 1979-1981 and 1988-1992 Chevrolet Camaro, and the 1985-2002 GMC Safari.

A wheel bearing carries the vehicle's load at the wheel while letting the hub rotate with minimal friction. As the original bearing wears, it can develop noise, roughness, or play — and this unit is the replacement for that job at the front outer position.

• Position: front outer wheel bearing for the listed applications.
• Function: supports the wheel hub and allows the wheel to spin freely under load with low rolling friction.
• Signs it may need replacing: a humming or growling noise that changes with vehicle speed or during cornering, looseness or play felt at the wheel, or vibration — diagnose the cause before replacing, since these signs can have other sources.
• Fitment: confirm your application against the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.

Manufacturer part number M12649.
