Default 1997-2010 Corvette Heavy Duty Wheel Bearing Assembly


SKF Corvette Racing HUB


If you have upgraded your Corvette’s performance, you will want these SKF front and rear racing hubs.*The 1997-2010 Corvette SKF Heavy Duty Wheel Bearing Assemblies are designed to provide high stiffness during cornering, thereby reducing piston knock-back and the need to tap your Corvette’s brakes. They are also designed for durability and to maintain preload at sustained loading of 1.2g! All this adds up to faster lap times with much better driver feedback over stock and other aftermarket C5 & C6 Corvette wheel bearings.

With our SKF Corvette Wheel Bearing Assemblies you gain:

  • Better brake performance under high loads
  • Higher preloads
  • Better handling
  • Increased hub durability
  • A compact unit with less than 10 microns of run-out

The ABS signal changed. The axle spline is also larger on the Factory ZR1 bearing.

And yes, the cad video is not an exact representation of the product, but shows the bearings in more detail.
