SKF Flange kit BR930558K offers a solution when a worn out bearing needs replacement on 2007-2013 Jeep Compass and Patriot as well as 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber. When replacing a worn-out wheel bearing, the wheel flange is often overlooked as the source of the bearing failure. Flanges that are bent or cracked will cause additional load to the bearing. SKF recommends doing a visual inspection and runout check of the wheel flange. Damage to the wheel flange can also occur during removal. This can occur when the inner ring of the bearing is still attached to the flange after removal. In order to remove the inner ring, it needs to be cut off the wheel flange or pressed off. The cutting process can create scaring and jeopardize the integrity of the flange. The best process is replacement with a new bearing and wheel flange. Currently, OEMs only offer an expensive option that comes with a knuckle assembly and backing plate. SKF offers a professional replacement kit that saves potential comebacks, time and cost. Only the necessary wear parts are included for replacement. The kit includes a wheel flange, wheel bearing, retaining clip and axle nut.
