New FAG wheel bearing parts are continuing to be released into the UK automotive aftermarket following last year’s dramatic increase in the range.

The latest new parts to be released by the manufacturer of original equipment (OE) bearings includes additions for some significant vehicles on the road, including the BMW 3 Series.
A rear wheel bearing kit is now available for the BMW 3 Series (F30) 320i xDrive, 11/2011-, and other releases comprise front and rear wheel bearing kits for vehicles that include the Kia RIO III (UB) 1.25 CVVT, 09/2011-, and a rear kit for vehicles that include the Dacia Duster 1.6 and 1.5Dcl 16v, 04/2010-.
Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket (UK) Ltd Technical Services Manager Malcolm Short said: “The last year has seen us introduce new FAG part numbers for more than 2¾ million additional vehicles and we are continuing to add to the range.
“We have expanded our FAG offering for the BMW 3 Series, which is such a popular model with both private and business users and we will continue to extend our OE range into the aftermarket over the coming months.
“The continued level of expansion means that we can satisfy the requirements of our distributors and their independent garage customers even more comprehensively so they can continue to provide UK and Irish motorists with the best possible range available.”
