Lock the front wheel bearing securely to the steering knuckle with the Timken Wheel Bearing Retaining Ring RET78 — the clip that holds a unitized bearing in its bore. It's a direct-fit replacement for the front position on the 2013-2014 Acura ILX [All] and 2006-2015 Honda Civic [All].
Engineered to OEM specifications: made to secure the unitized bearing to the knuckle and aligned with Timken's quality standards.
Secure, bore-friendly fit: designed to hold firmly without scoring the inside of the bore.
Universal design: reduces notch configurations for easier installation.
Easy service access: notches are set for optimum access using traditional snap ring pliers.
These clips install in pairs — the listed applications use a quantity of 2, so order 2 for a complete front replacement. A worn, distorted, or missing retaining ring can allow the bearing to shift in the knuckle; if that clip is the cause, this replaces it. Whenever the front wheel bearing is serviced, install a fresh ring rather than reusing the old one.
