SKF Bearings and Wheel Hub Assemblies Now Available at Summit Racing

You don’t want to trust your fate to a cut-rate wheel bearing, driveshaft support bearing, or a wheel hub assembly that could fail at any time. That’s why it pays to spend a little more and get the best available, like the SKF bearings and wheel hub assemblies available at Summit Racing.

SKF got its start in 1907 making the first self-aligning ball bearings for industrial use (fun fact: Volvo Cars used to be a subsidiary of SKF). If you need a testimony as to how good SKF products are, ask the guys on the Ferrari F1, Richard Childress NASCAR, and the Ducati MotoGP race teams.

In addition to the thousands of SKF axle, differential, and other bearings we carry, we also offer these:

Wheel Bearing and Hub Assemblies
More than 90 million vehicles worldwide have SKF wheel bearing and hub assemblies as OEM or replacements—more than all other competitors combined. These replacement wheel bearing and hub assemblies are made from high-quality steel and feature premium seals and OEM-quality sensors. SKF hub assemblies are easy to install as they come to you pre-adjusted and lubricated for life. SKF also gives you the small parts like axle nuts, O-rings, and circlips needed for installation, saving you the hassle of hunting them down at the parts store.

Summit Racing also carries SKF X-Tracker hub assemblies. These have a unique design with more weight bearing capacity and are 50% stiffer than a traditional tapered bearing unit. That design improves steering and handling, reduces disc brake wear due to ‘truer’ rotor rotation, and also allows the wheels to run truer.

If you’re interested in the techie stuff, the SKF website has a wealth of information on wheel bearing and hub assemblies. Be prepared to stay awhile.

Driveshaft Support Carrier Bearings
SKF driveshaft support bearings are engineered to deliver precise driveshaft alignment and support. Features include:
• Pre-lubricated with metal reinforced seals to prevent contamination
• Rubber compound support cushions offer maximum support while isolating the driveshaft from damaging vibration
• High quality steel or aluminum support frames provide added strength and long life in harsh environments
• Brackets and slingers included as necessary

Clutch Release Bearings
SKF clutch release bearings have a self-aligning design that can handle issues with misaligned drivetrain components, and also minimize noise and vibration. The bearings have a unique sealing system that keeps contaminants out and grease in for longer life.

Summit Racing also carries these SKF products:
• Timing belts and timing belt tensioners
• U-joints
• Pilot bearings
• Manual transmission and transfer case bearing and seal overhaul kits
