⚠️ Critical Fitment Notice — 72.04mm OD

The OD of this bearing is 72.04mm — not the standard 72.00mm. This is the original Honda OE specification to achieve the correct interference fit in the hub housing. A standard 72.00mm bearing will not press-fit correctly and may result in bearing movement and premature failure. Always specify DAC3872A (not DAC38720034) when ordering for Honda applications, and verify OD before ordering.

Product Overview

The 3872 / DAC3872A is a 38×72.04×34mm double row angular contact ball bearing for Honda Accord (1985–1993), Civic (1987–1995), CR-V (1995–2001), and Acura Integra (1986–1993) front wheel hubs.

3872, DAC3872A, and DAC38720034 are all designations for the same bearing — always confirm the 72.04mm OD when cross-referencing DAC38720034, as some sources list this as 72.00mm.

Double-row angular contact design handles combined radial and bidirectional axial loads. 2RS seals on both sides block moisture, dust, and road grime. Pre-greased — lifetime maintenance-free.

FAQ

Q: DAC3872A vs DAC38720034 — what's the difference?

DAC3872A specifies the Honda OE 72.04mm OD. DAC38720034 is the dimensional designation (38×72×34mm) and may refer to a 72.00mm OD variant depending on the supplier. For Honda applications, always specify DAC3872A and verify the 72.04mm OD.

Q: Why is the OD 72.04mm and not 72.00mm?

The 72.04mm OD is the original Honda OE specification — set to achieve the correct interference fit in the hub housing. A standard 72.00mm bearing will not press-fit correctly and may move in the housing under load.

Q: What is the difference between 3872 and DAC38700037?

Not interchangeable. 3872 / DAC3872A = 38×72.04×34mm for Honda front hubs. DAC38700037 = 38×70×37mm for Hyundai / Kia front hubs. Different OD and width — always confirm dimensions before ordering.

Q: What documentation is available?

GCr15 / AISI 52100 material certificates, dimensional inspection reports, noise & vibration test reports (ISO 15242), packing lists, commercial invoices, certificates of origin. ISO9001 / IATF16949 certified supply chain. SGS / BV / TÜV third-party inspection supported.

Q: MOQ and lead time?

MOQ: flexible — sample orders accepted (sample fee credited toward first bulk order). Standard stock: 5–7 business days. FOB Qingdao / CIF / EXW.

Q: OEM / private label available?

Yes — custom box artwork, laser-engraved logo on bearing ring, fully branded inner/outer packaging. All IP rights belong to you. MOQ and pricing on request.
