This genuine Toro OEM wheel and bearing assembly is a complete replacement unit for worn, seized, or damaged wheel and bearing assemblies on Toro mowers. The bearing is a wear item that can degrade over time — symptoms of a worn wheel bearing include rough, noisy, or uneven wheel rotation, wobbling during mowing, and inconsistent tracking. Replacing the complete assembly rather than the bearing alone ensures correct fitment and long service life. Verify your model and serial number before ordering.
