Hyundai Veracruz Input Shaft Bearing 495603J320 BIG TIGER PARTS OEM

Description

Product Overview

The Hyundai Veracruz input shaft bearing is a critical component of the vehicle’s transmission system, responsible for supporting the rotating input shaft and ensuring smooth power transfer from the engine to the drivetrain. This OEM replacement bearing, manufactured by BIG TIGER PARTS, conforms to the exact specifications of the original equipment part, identified by the manufacturer part number 49560-3J320 and OEM part number 49560 3J320. Constructed from high‑grade steel alloys, the bearing offers superior wear resistance, corrosion protection, and dimensional stability under a wide range of operating temperatures. The design incorporates precision‑ground raceways and sealed steel cages that retain lubrication and prevent contaminant ingress, extending service life and reducing maintenance intervals. Weighing 11.11 pounds, the bearing is packaged in its original retail box, providing clear labeling, part identification, and protective cushioning to guard against damage during shipping.

Key dimensions include an inner diameter that matches the input shaft bore, an outer diameter that fits within the transmission housing, and a width calibrated to maintain proper gear mesh clearance. The bearing’s load‑rating is engineered to accommodate the torque demands of the Hyundai Veracruz’s V6 engine, delivering consistent performance during acceleration, hill climbing, and towing scenarios. The product’s best‑seller rank in the automotive category reflects its popularity among mechanics and vehicle owners seeking a dependable, direct‑fit solution for transmission repairs.

Usage

This input shaft bearing is intended for use in the 2006 Hyundai Veracruz and compatible model years that share the same transmission architecture. Installation typically occurs during a transmission overhaul, clutch replacement, or when symptoms such as whining noises, vibration, or gear slippage indicate bearing wear. The part is suitable for both professional automotive service facilities and experienced DIY enthusiasts who have access to standard transmission disassembly tools, including a bearing puller, torque wrench, and proper alignment fixtures.

During installation, the technician removes the old bearing, cleans the shaft and housing surfaces, and applies a thin layer of high‑temperature transmission fluid to the new bearing’s raceways. The sealed design eliminates the need for additional greasing, simplifying the assembly process and reducing the risk of contamination. After fitting, the transmission is reassembled, and a break‑in period of gentle driving is recommended to allow the bearing to seat fully. The part performs reliably in a variety of driving conditions, from city commuting to highway cruising, and can withstand the thermal cycles associated with stop‑and‑go traffic and prolonged high‑speed operation.

FAQ

What vehicle models are compatible with this bearing?

This bearing is designed for the 2006 Hyundai Veracruz and other model years that share the same transmission layout and part number 495603J320. Compatibility can be confirmed by checking the vehicle’s VIN or consulting the service manual for the input shaft bearing specification.

Do I need special tools to install the bearing?

While the bearing can be installed with standard transmission repair tools, a bearing puller or press is recommended to remove the old bearing safely and to seat the new one without damaging the raceways. A torque wrench is also useful for tightening surrounding bolts to the manufacturer‑specified values.

How can I tell if the bearing is failing?

Typical symptoms of a worn input shaft bearing include a high‑pitched whining noise that changes with engine speed, increased vibration felt through the steering wheel, and occasional gear slippage during acceleration. If these signs appear, it is advisable to inspect the bearing and replace it if wear or damage is observed.

Is the bearing covered by a warranty?

Yes, BIG TIGER PARTS provides a one‑year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or external factors such as road debris. Proof of purchase is required to make a warranty claim.

Can I use this bearing in a high‑performance application?

The bearing is engineered to meet the original equipment specifications for the Hyundai Veracruz, which includes the vehicle’s standard performance envelope. For extreme high‑performance or racing applications, a specialized bearing designed for increased load and heat dissipation may be more appropriate. However, for typical daily driving and moderate towing, this OEM part delivers reliable service.
