NTN-SNR is now offering wheel bearings kits for the popular Mercedes Sprinter II and VW Crafter vans, a first for the independent aftermarket.

As the No.1 supplier of OE wheel bearings in Europe, NTN-SNR is a major partner of German automotive manufacturers such as Daimler, VW and Opel.  The company supplies more than 20% of the German automotive industry original equipment and is the supplier of original wheel bearings for the Mercedes Sprinter and VW Crafter. This unique position allows NTN-SNR to be first to market with these important replacement wheel bearing kits.

With these vehicles the dealers only supply rear wheel bearings with the complete driveshaft. However, this is rarely damaged which is why NTN-SNR chose to supply more economical wheel bearing kit.
