The GB40574 / GB12163S04 is a 42×82×36mm double row angular contact ball bearing for front wheel hub and tractor axle applications, weighing 0.8kg. Confirmed OE fitment on Citroën BX, Peugeot 305, and GM platforms — with 12+ cross-reference numbers covering SKF, SNR, and direct OE designations.
Sealing: Full-contact rubber seals on both inner and outer race — dual-barrier against moisture, road salt, mud, and agricultural dust. Factory pre-lubricated; no re-greasing required for the 50,000km / 1-year rated service interval.
Cage: Fiberglass reinforced plastic — dimensional stability under thermal cycling, lower noise vs steel cage at passenger car wheel hub speeds.
Double row angular contact — handles combined radial + bidirectional axial loads simultaneously; standard configuration for European passenger car front wheel hubs.
Full-contact seals on both rings — higher contamination protection than single-ring lip seals; suited to European road conditions and agricultural dust environments.
CN clearance, pre-set at manufacture — correct operating clearance for standard wheel hub service; no field adjustment required.
120°C max operating temperature — covers high-speed motorway, repeated braking, and hot-climate markets (Middle East, Southeast Asia).
