Hold a new front wheel bearing firmly in the steering knuckle with the SKF Wheel Bearing Retaining Ring CIR188. This C-clip retainer is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2003-2018 Toyota Corolla, 2001-2003 Toyota Prius and 2003-2013 Toyota Matrix; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
C-clip retainers are used with generation one wheel bearings to keep the bearing inside the steering knuckle. Used clips often rust or get damaged in service or during removal, and rust weakens them. For that reason, SKF advises installing a new clip every time you fit a new hub bearing, so the bearing is secured with a fresh retainer.
For more than a century, engineers, technicians, and mechanics around the world have relied on SKF. SKF states that all of its products meet or exceed test requirements. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details on each vehicle.
