Product Overview

The wheel bearing kit, OEM number 7L0498287, is the 96mm wheel bearing and snap ring kit fitted to the shared PL71 platform used across the Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne. This kit fits both front and rear positions, and both left and right sides, which simplifies stocking since one part number covers the full application across all three nameplates.

Worn units typically show up as a humming or grinding noise from the wheel that changes with vehicle speed, vibration felt through the vehicle, or looseness felt when rocking the wheel by hand. GSK Auto manufactures this bearing kit to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm fitment before shipping.

(Confirm against your VIN or chassis code before ordering - this kit fits both front and rear positions on the Touareg/Q7/Cayenne platform, and the bearing has a magnetic surface that must be oriented toward the wheel speed sensor during installation, so it's worth flagging that to your customer.)

What Is a Wheel Bearing Kit?

Function: The wheel bearing kit supports the wheel, allows it to rotate freely with minimal friction, and carries the vehicle's weight at that corner. This kit includes the bearing itself along with the snap ring needed for installation into the hub.

Working Principle: Sealed bearings inside the kit allow smooth rotation under load while resisting both radial and axial forces from cornering, braking, and road impacts, keeping the wheel running true, with the snap ring securing the bearing in place within the hub housing.

Importance: On a heavy SUV platform like the Touareg, Q7, and Cayenne, the wheel bearing has to hold tight tolerances under significant vehicle weight, so wear here affects both ride comfort and handling precision.

Common Failures & Signs: Humming, growling, or grinding noise from the wheel that changes with speed. Vibration felt through the vehicle, particularly at highway speeds. Looseness or play felt when the wheel is rocked by hand. ABS or traction control warning light if the wheel speed sensor circuit is affected by bearing wear.
