Tapered roller bearings have a larger contact surface and are therefore significantly more resilient than conventional factory solutions with ball bearings. Tapered roller bearings can therefore withstand the high loads of high-performance brake systems much better and are also much more wear-resistant.
They increase active driving safety by ensuring the ideal condition of smooth-running, non-locking steering for a very long time. This is a criterion that will become apparent at the next TÜV inspection at the latest.
The steering bearings are available for the top or bottom as well as in a set. They completely replace the conventional steering bearings including bearing shells.
NOTE:The upper BGM tapered roller bearing is higher than an original one. For this reason, no lock nut can be used to prevent rotation, as is the case with the original bearing. The thread is designed to be self-locking, i.e. cut tighter and can therefore be screwed on tighter than an original part. Screw lock can also be used. Then adjust the bearing play and position the steering head on the upper bearing ring so that no gap is visible between the two.
