Support rotating hubs and shafts with the SKF wheel bearing BR16, a tapered roller bearing that is also listed as a manual transmission input shaft bearing. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications on many vehicles, among them the 1983-1987 Dodge Charger, 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota and 1988-1995 Dodge Grand Caravan. Depending on the vehicle, it is cataloged for the front, rear, front outer, rear outer or 5th position.
- Heat-treated high-carbon steel: SKF makes this bearing from heat-treated high-carbon steel for strength.
- Precision-matched components: SKF builds its bearing sets from precision-matched components designed for performance and life.
- Logarithmic raceway profiles: the roller raceways use logarithmic profiles with an ultra-smooth surface finish, designed for smooth, quiet operation.
- SKF engineering: engineers, technicians and mechanics have turned to SKF for bearing solutions for more than 100 years.
A tapered roller bearing uses tapered rollers running between inner and outer raceways to carry both radial and thrust loads on a rotating hub or shaft. Growling, humming, roughness or excess play are signs a bearing may need replacing; if a worn bearing is the cause, this replaces it. BR16 fits many vehicles, including Chrysler, Plymouth, American Motors and Cadillac models. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list, engine details and the position for each vehicle.
