Harsh road conditions make the need to replace wheel bearings more common. FAG WheelSet offer a complete, convenient and ultra high quality solutions for garages. 


The main task of a wheel bearing is the transmission of torque as well as the absorption of occurring forces. Since their invention, these multi-talented units have undergone several generations of design changes towards compact units. As a long-standing development partner of the automotive industry, Schaeffler has significantly advanced the further development of these bearings with its FAG brand and offers a large portfolio of repair solutions for independent garages, all in perfect OEM quality.

The extensive portfolio covering all wheel bearing generations distinguishes FAG wheel bearing sets for garages. Due to the unique inventive genius of its engineers, which continues to set standards in wheel bearing development to this day, Schaeffler also offers pioneering wheel bearing sets for repairs, in original OEM quality. These feature; 
  • Circlip: With this innovative circlip, the bearing is securely fastened in the axle carrier.
  • Rolling rivet collar: The required bearing clearance is reliably established during production by the roller rivet collar. This reduces possible mounting errors.
  • Low friction torque seal (LFT): By dispensing with a sealing lip, friction is reduced by 50 %. The modified design of the sealing labyrinth reliably prevents the penetration of dirt and moisture.
  • Spur gearing: The patented spur gearing was developed to meet the increasing requirements for CO2 reduction. With the axial gearing in combination with the modified drive shaft, the transmittable torque can be increased, driving dynamics improved and installation simplified.
Since wheel bearings are safety-relevant components, any damage should be repaired quickly and professionally. In order to make replacement in the garage as easy and safe as possible, all FAG WheelSets from Schaeffler also include all accessories for professional replacement. Also in the sets the nuts and bolts, which are equipped with various locking systems, are perfectly matched to the respective car and thus ensure a particularly sustainable repair.

This means that each FAG WheelSet guarantees that the seat of the wheel bearing in the stub axle is secured, the pretension of the wheel bearing is maintained in the long-term and optimal concentricity is ensured, thus  unnecessary wear and possible failure of the bearing is avoided. 

FAG WheelSet are available from stockists nationwide.
