Product Description
The VKBA3237 (SKF aftermarket designation) / R16936 (SNR aftermarket designation) is a double-row angular contact ball bearing engineered specifically as the front and rear wheel hub bearing for key Toyota and Lexus passenger car platforms — including the Toyota Camry, Toyota MR-2, Toyota Picnic, and Lexus RX300 V6. With dimensions of 43mm bore × 82mm OD × 45mm width (confirmed by SKF official catalogue ), the VKBA3237 is a precision-engineered bearing optimised for the combined radial and axial load conditions of wheel hub applications on these widely-produced FWD, RWD/MR, and SUV platforms.
The VKBA3237 designation is the SKF aftermarket wheel bearing kit reference — one of the most widely recognised aftermarket coding systems globally. The alternate designation SKF06836 is the SKF bearing-only reference (without kit components). The Toyota OEM part number 90369-43008 (also written as 9036943008) is the factory-original procurement reference — confirmed as a Genuine Toyota OEM part by Toyota of Nashua , with fitment spanning 1989–2004 Toyota models. The SNR R16936 designation is the French SNR/NTN aftermarket equivalent, while Febi 27313, Nipparts J4702025, Bendix 050078B, ABS 200272, and Flennor FR970364 are additional European aftermarket cross-references.
NEXANS Bearing manufactures the VKBA3237 equivalent to ISO standard — ensuring seamless compatibility with Toyota and Lexus 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 wheel hub environment of these globally popular vehicles.

Dimensional Note: The 43×82×45mm dimensions are confirmed by the SKF official automotive catalogue — the original source of the VKBA3237 designation.
