Bearings for cars of the Russian automobile industry

The domestic auto industry, which produces passenger cars, still uses old types of bearings in production - single-row roller bearings. Only AvtoVAZ switched to two-row closed hub type HUB-1. HUB-1 means there are no flanges on the body for mounting to the hub. Therefore, owners of Russian car brands have a question about which wheel bearings are better. The most common vehicles on Russian roads today are VAZ 2110, GAZelle, and UAZ Hunter. Of course, you can purchase original parts, but they are often twice as expensive as similar ones from other factories. Let's look at the example of these particular brands of companies that produce the necessary parts.

Bearings for VAZ 2110

For the modern line of VAZ passenger cars (except Niva 4x4, Chevy Niva), three standard sizes of wheel bearings are produced:

• 256907 - for front-wheel drive VAZ 2108-2112;

• 256707 - on Granta, Kalina;

• 256706 - on the rear axle.

All these models belong to HUB-1, double-row, ball, closed, angular contact. Lada Granta and Kalina differ only in height.

Traditional suppliers of bearings for cars from Togliatti are 5 factories:

• CJSC "LADA Image" - manufactures and sells original Lada wheel bearings through secondary markets;

• Saratov plant - produces parts under the SPZ brand;

• Volzhsky Plant - uses the Volzhsky Standard brand;

• Vologda plant - sells products under the VBF brand;

• Samara plant SPZ-9.

The price-quality ratio of these factories is optimal. The cheapest products are those from the Samara plant (less than 200 rubles), other companies on average sell parts costing 230-275 rubles.

Bearings for UAZ

UAZ hubs use bearing 127509 - roller, conical, single-row, angular contact. There are additional parts marked: A - reinforced and AK - with minor design changes. The part can withstand large axial loads, so the car can be operated in difficult road conditions.

Parts of this type are produced by the Samara and Saratov plants, already mentioned above, as well as the Moscow GPZ-2 and Lutsk (LPZ) plants.

The most affordable products are from GPZ-2, the cost is 182 rubles.

Bearings for GAZelle

The front hubs of GAZelles are equipped with two tapered bearings, roller, angular contact, single-row. The outer one is marked 7305АШ, the inner one is marked 7307А. Both are designed to handle heavy loads.

Such bearings are manufactured at the Volzhsky and Saratov plants. The kit often consists of two bearings, fasteners, lubricant, stopper, and seals. The cost of such a kit from VPZ is 350 rubles.

In addition to Russian manufacturers, there are foreign companies that produce similar products, but prices are usually higher.

Before purchasing parts for hub repair, carefully study which suppliers offer the highest quality products, and check that the parts have the appropriate engraving. It’s better not to try to buy cheap, low-quality parts, because your safety depends on it, and such “savings” can lead to a major breakdown and a serious accident.

Lada.Online is the largest Russian-language automotive resource with a daily audience of thousands, which is dedicated primarily to cars of this brand, the domestic automotive industry and the automotive world in general.

What to look for when choosing bearings for a hub

When choosing wheel bearings, you should pay attention to the following nuances:

• period of operation of the machine. If you continue to use the car, you should take high-quality foreign models. To sell a vehicle, inexpensive Chinese analogues will be sufficient;
• choose those manufacturers who supply their goods to the assembly line (for car assembly). In this case, the quality of spare parts is confirmed by many tests of the automaker;
• You can’t rely solely on size. Externally identical parts can differ greatly inside (for example, balls with different diameters). An unsuitable element will fail faster and can also lead to unit failure;
• exposed bearings must be lubricated before installation. Choose high-quality wheel bearing lubricant, the service life of which corresponds to the period of operation of the bearing;
• It is better to entrust the installation to professionals (especially if you do not have the appropriate experience and equipment). Otherwise, you can only damage the part.

If you don’t know which bearings are better, then you should take a closer look at more famous brands. In this case, you will receive reliable and durable parts that will serve you for a long period.

Replacing the front wheel bearing of a Lada Granta - detailed instructions with photos and videos

Wheel bearing failure is a common occurrence during the operation of domestic cars. Using an example, consider the Lada Granta car (Lada Granta, 2190, 2191, Sport, Liftback, Sedan) produced by VAZ, designed on the basis of the Lada Kalina, in terms of dimensions the car is classified as “C” class.

The front suspension is borrowed from Kalina, but is modernized. In terms of reliability, these models differ little.

The Granta wheel bearing is replaced without specialized tools, experience and knowledge.

Diagnosis of wheel bearing failure Grants

The front wheel bearing on the Grant is not the most vulnerable part in the suspension, but its failure is possible after a mileage of 80,000 km or due to external and internal factors.

A front hub malfunction is determined by the following symptoms:

1. Noise from the wheel while driving (damaged ball bearing parts: rolling elements, raceways or cage);
2. Vibration, wheel beating, grinding noise (typical of a broken ball bearing);
3. Front wheel play (the ball bearing has failed or the wheel nut is not tightened with sufficient torque).

The same signs of malfunction are characteristic of the rear wheel bearing on the Grant.

Watch the video with the characteristic noise when a hub unit breaks:

Bad bearing humming

Diagnostics of the front hub bearings proceeds as follows:

1. The front of the car is raised with a jack;
2. Spin the wheel by hand and check for noise;
3. Check the axial play (clearance) according to the instructions.
4. If you hear a noise or notice other signs, then replacing the front wheel bearing on Granta is inevitable.
5. Be sure to watch the diagnostic video.

Signs of a low-quality spare part

The main signs of counterfeit products:

• packaging made of low quality material;
• grammatical or punctuation errors in the description (on the box or insert);
• absence of protective holographic stickers (subject to installation of elements on original products);
• scratches or other mechanical damage to the rings, separator or protective washers;
• lack of information or erroneous information about the manufacturer or catalog number;
• noise when the rings rotate or a palpable beating of parts.
