Keep the hub turning smoothly and quietly with the Timken Wheel Bearing Race 2523 — the hardened cup that gives a tapered roller bearing a precision surface to roll against. It's a direct-fit replacement across a long list of vintage applications, including the 1951-1955 Chrysler Imperial, 1953 Dodge B-4, 1953 Dodge B-4 Truck, 1956 Dodge C-4, 1957 Dodge P400 Series, 1955 Triumph TR2, 1956-1957 Triumph TR3, 1958-1961 Triumph TR3A, 1962 Triumph TR3B, and 1965-1966 Triumph TR4A — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Over time a bearing race can pit, spall, or brinell, which may show up as a growl, hum, or roughness that changes with wheel speed. If a worn or damaged race is the cause of that noise, this replaces it; inspect the mating bearing at the same time, and diagnose the noise before ordering. Replacing races and bearings on both sides as a matched set is recommended for even, balanced performance.
