QUALITY IS NOT
JUST SKIN DEEP.
Wheel bearings are a safety critical component, so there
are good reasons why FAG bearings are tested, approved
and originally fitted around the world. One reason is

bearing friction by >30%, cutting CO 2 emissions and
fuel consumption by >1%. Cheaper bearings might not
conform to the many rigorous standards that FAG has to
meet as an OE supplier, so put your trust in the original
manufacturer. FAG - born in 1883.
