ZF 0735.372.249 TAPERED ROLLER BEARING for WG200 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0735.372.249 TAPERED ROLLER BEARING is a critical load-bearing component engineered specifically for the WG 200 Series transmission. This OEM genuine part manages combined axial and radial loads within the planetary gearset, ensuring precise shaft alignment and smooth torque transfer. Positioned inside the main housing assembly, the 0735.372.249 bearing supports the rotating elements that drive the output shaft. For complete rebuilds, this bearing is often replaced alongside the 4460115043: HOUSING and the 4469315012: AXLE DRIVE HOUSING to restore factory tolerances.

Symptoms of Failure

• Whining or grinding noise during gear engagement: A worn 0735.372.249 bearing produces a metallic whine that intensifies under load, often mistaken for gear wear.
• Excessive axial play in the output shaft: When the tapered roller bearing loses preload, you may detect 2-3 mm of end float, leading to erratic shifting and driveline vibration.
• Metallic debris in transmission fluid: Flaking from the bearing race contaminates the oil, accelerating wear on the 0750117406: TAPER ROLLER BEARING and adjacent seals.
• Oil seepage near the housing joint: Bearing failure can distort the AXLE DRIVE HOUSING, causing fluid to escape past the gasket.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This tapered roller bearing is a direct fit for the ZF WG 200 Series transmissions, including models WG180, WG200, and WG210. It also applies to certain WG 150 variants with the same planetary carrier design. Always verify the bearing seat dimensions against the HOUSING bore before installation. For dual-bearing configurations, pair this part with the 0750117802: TAPERED ROLLER BEARING to maintain proper load distribution.
