FAG WR0196 Wheel Bearing Retaining Ring

The FAG WR0196 is a precision-engineered wheel bearing retaining ring designed to secure wheel bearing assemblies in place. This critical component acts as a mechanical lock that prevents the bearing from shifting or moving out of position during vehicle operation.

Key Features:

• Manufactured by FAG, part of the Schaeffler Group - a leading global bearing manufacturer with over 100 years of experience
• Precision-machined retaining collar designed for interference fit installation
• Provides secondary backup to bearing snap rings for enhanced security
• Acts as the machined face that wheel bearing seals run against
• OEM-quality construction ensures proper fit and long-term reliability

This retaining ring is an essential component in wheel bearing service kits and should be replaced whenever wheel bearings are serviced to ensure proper seal function and prevent oil leakage. Professional installation is recommended using appropriate bearing tools to avoid damage to the axle shaft during installation or removal.
