VKBA3959 Auto Wheel Bearing | 40×72×37mm | Front Axle Hub | Toyota Avensis / Celica / Corolla / Prius + LIFAN Solano | OEM 9036340066 / SKF VKBA3959 | GCr15 Chrome Steel | NEXANS Bearing

The VKBA3959 (SKF aftermarket designation) is a double-row angular contact ball bearing engineered specifically as the front axle hub bearing for key Toyota passenger car platforms — including the Toyota Avensis, Toyota Celica, Toyota Corolla, and Toyota Prius — as well as the LIFAN Solano, a Chinese passenger car built on Toyota-derived platform technology. With dimensions of 40mm bore × 72mm OD × 37mm width, the VKBA3959 / DAC40720037 is a precision-engineered bearing optimised for the combined radial and axial load conditions of front axle hub applications on these widely-produced FWD and hybrid vehicle platforms.

The VKBA3959 designation is the SKF aftermarket wheel bearing kit reference — one of the most widely recognised aftermarket coding systems globally for wheel hub bearing identification. The Toyota OEM part number 90363-40066 (also written as 9036340066) is the factory-original procurement reference — confirmed as a Genuine Toyota front axle hub bearing by eBay  and Toyota Parts Deal . The five Toyota OEM cross-references (9036340066, 9008036087, 9017822001, 9052179002, 9017722001) and LIFAN OEM reference (B2304510) confirm the broad multi-platform applicability of this bearing.

NEXANS Bearing manufactures the VKBA3959 equivalent to ISO standard — ensuring seamless compatibility with Toyota and LIFAN vehicle factory specifications while meeting international quality standards. The GCr15 chrome steel construction, pre-lubricated double-sealed design, and angular contact double-row ball bearing geometry provide the durability, precision, and combined load capacity required for the demanding front axle hub environment of these globally popular vehicles.

Product Specifications

Weight Note: The NEXANS product page  confirms 0.55 kg for the DAC40720037 variant in the series table. Toyota Parts Deal  lists a package weight of 2.00 lbs (≈0.91 kg) — reflecting gross packaged weight including housing/packaging materials, consistent with a ~0.55 kg net bearing weight.

OEM Cross-Reference Numbers

OEM Cross-Reference Note: The five Toyota OEM references (9036340066, 9008036087, 9017822001, 9052179002, 9017722001) confirmed on the NEXANS product page  reflect Toyota's internal part number revision history — as Toyota periodically supersedes OEM part numbers across model year updates while the physical bearing remains identical. All five references point to the same 40×72×37mm DAC40720037 front axle hub bearing. The SKF VKBA3959 designation is the globally recognised aftermarket equivalent, making this bearing easily identifiable across all major aftermarket catalogues.

Vehicle Fitment Guide

Platform Note: The Toyota Corolla is one of the world's best-selling cars of all time — with over 50 million units sold globally across all generations. The Toyota Prius pioneered the global hybrid vehicle market from 1997, with millions of units in active service worldwide. The Toyota Avensis and Celica further extend the VKBA3959's coverage across Toyota's FWD platform family. The LIFAN Solano application arises because LIFAN Automobile adopted Toyota-derived platform architecture for the Solano sedan — making the Toyota OEM bearing directly applicable.

(From NEXANS official series table — all models in stock)

Series Position Note: Within the DAC40 series, the DAC40720037 (VKBA3959) at 40×72×37mm is the Toyota-specific front axle hub bearing — distinguished by its 72mm OD from the more common 74mm OD variants (DAC40740036/40/42) which serve other vehicle platforms. NEXANS stocks all DAC40 variants for complete global vehicle fleet coverage.

VKBA3959 vs Related DAC40 Wheel Bearing Models — Family Comparison

Key Distinction: The DAC40720037 (VKBA3959) is uniquely identified by its 72mm OD within the DAC40 family — a Toyota-specific dimension that differentiates it from the more common 74mm, 75mm, and 76mm OD variants serving other vehicle platforms. This makes the VKBA3959 / 90363-40066 designation essential for correct Toyota procurement — a standard 40mm bore bearing with different OD will not fit.
