ZF 0735.371.464 TAPERED ROLLER BEARING for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0735.371.464 TAPERED ROLLER BEARING is a precision-engineered component designed to manage axial and radial loads within the planetary gear sets of ZF WG-series transmissions. Positioned on the output shaft or countershaft assembly, this OEM genuine part ensures smooth rotation and proper gear alignment under heavy torque conditions. The SKU 0735.371.464 is a direct replacement for the factory-installed bearing, maintaining the exact load tolerances required for long service life. When paired with a robust TRANSMISSION HOUSING, this bearing prevents shaft deflection and reduces internal friction, directly contributing to transmission efficiency.

Symptoms of Failure

• Growling or rumbling noise during acceleration: A worn 0735.371.464 bearing produces a low-frequency growl that intensifies under load, often mistaken for gear whine.
• Vibration in the driveline at highway speeds: Excessive radial play from a failing tapered roller bearing causes harmonic vibrations felt through the chassis.
• Metallic debris in the transmission fluid: Flaking or spalling of the bearing race introduces fine steel particles into the oil, which can clog filters and damage adjacent components like the BALL check valve.
• Oil seepage near the output shaft seal: Bearing wear increases shaft runout, compromising the HOUSING seal surface and leading to fluid loss.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This tapered roller bearing is engineered for the ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmission series. It is also used in select WG180 and WG200 variants where the output shaft bearing arrangement matches the 35mm bore configuration. Always verify the bearing seat dimensions in your specific COVER assembly before installation. For WG transmissions with auxiliary PTO drives, confirm that the bearing preload shim stack is compatible with the 0735.371.464 profile.
