Koyo is the Japanese bearing brand of JTEKT Corporation, and 39 of our listings carry KOYO bearings: four front wheel bearing kits for older Holdens and Ford Falcons, and 35 trailer bearing kits. We sell KOYO in kits, not as single bearings, and our team rates KOYO as good-quality Japanese bearings.

Who makes Koyo bearings?
Koyo is the bearing brand of JTEKT Corporation, whose head office is in Kariya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. JTEKT makes steering systems, driveline parts, bearings and machine tools, and Koyo is its bearing brand ("Koyo, JTEKT Bearing Brand"). The Koyo name goes back to Koyo Seiko, founded in 1921, which JTEKT's company history lists as one of the two companies it grew from.
Our team's view is short: KOYO is good-quality Japanese, and the KOYO bearings we sell are made in Japan. It sits alongside ITJ, our Japanese brand. ACCOR is our economy brand, from a high-end Chinese maker, and our team rates ACCOR and ITJ as both great quality. The bearing numbers decide what fits; the brand is your choice. Our Japanese vs Chinese trailer bearings guide shows which trailer kits come in which brand.

One cone number won't pick the kit on its own: L68149 sits in five of our KOYO sets, and LM67048 in six. Read both cones and both cups, then match the pair. Our trailer bearing numbers guide has the cups and sizes for every number.
KOYO wheel bearings for cars
All four of our KOYO car kits are front wheel bearing kits, one inner bearing, one outer bearing and a seal per wheel:
- Holden HQ to WB and VB to VP Commodore. The same LM67048 and LM11949 pair as a Holden trailer kit. Years and engines by model are in our Holden wheel bearings guide.
- Ford Falcon EA to EL and its relatives. The listings don't print the bearing numbers. The model list is in our Ford Falcon front wheel bearings guide.
We don't list a KOYO rear wheel bearing kit or a KOYO kit for any other car. Not sure of the fit? Send us your VIN or registration and our team will check it from the make, model, year and engine.
KOYO trailer bearing kits
KOYO covers the Holden, Ford, composite, parallel, Kara Kar and Simplicity sets in our trailer range. For the same set, our KOYO and ACCOR kits list the same cone and cup numbers; only the bearing brand changes.
- Marine or standard: the bearings are the same, and the seal is the difference. Our marine kits have a two-piece seal, a rubber seal with a stainless steel collar.
- Seal sizes vary by set. Our trailer bearing seal sizes guide lists them.
Fitting
Fitting and adjustment follow your vehicle's workshop manual or your axle maker's procedure. We don't publish fitting steps or torque figures. Our listings say parts should be fitted by a professional to vehicle specifications, so if in doubt, book a mechanic or a trailer service centre.

Questions people also ask
Are KOYO wheel bearings good?
Our team rates KOYO as good-quality Japanese bearings. Whatever the brand, the bearing that fits is the one with the same numbers as the old one.
Do you sell KOYO 6203 or 5203 bearings?
Not in KOYO. Our KOYO range is the wheel and trailer bearing kits above. We list the 6203 and 5203 sizes in our ACCOR range: 6203 in our 10x 6000 to 6310 2RS bearings, 5203 as the 5203-2RS double row bearing. Koyo writes RS for one rubber seal and 2RS for two: our bearing seal codes guide compares the codes.
Do you sell KOYO hub assemblies or water pump bearings?
No. Our KOYO car kits are bearing kits, not hub assemblies. If you're not sure which your car takes, our wheel bearing kit or hub assembly guide explains the difference.
Where can I buy KOYO bearings in Australia?
Every KOYO kit in the tables above can be ordered on our website. Ordering, dispatch and returns are answered in our FAQ.
