Hold a new front wheel bearing firmly in the steering knuckle with the SKF Wheel Bearing Retaining Ring CIR178. This C-clip retainer is cataloged for the front position on many vehicles, among them the 1996-2000 Hyundai Elantra, 2006-2014 Dodge Attitude and 2012-2014 Dodge I10. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

C-clip retainers work with generation one wheel bearings and keep the bearing in place inside the steering knuckle. Clips that have been in service often rust or get damaged during use or removal. When you install a new bearing hub unit, SKF recommends replacing the used clip to help secure the wheel bearing for a safe, reliable fit.

  • Replace, don't reuse: Rust weakens a C-clip, so always fit a new one during hub bearing installation.
  • Exact fit: Engineered to OEM specifications and tolerances.
  • Heat-treated high-carbon steel: The heat treatment helps prevent shape distortion.
  • Built to OE standards: SKF rates its C-clips as meeting or exceeding OEM specifications. The clips are designed to help support longer wheel bearing life.

SKF's C-clip line comes in a wide variety of sizes. Engineers, technicians and mechanics have relied on the brand for more than 100 years.
