SKF BDZ38-1 Steering Rack Bearing – Angular Contact Ball Bearing 38x68x26mm for Lexus GS IS Toyota

The BDZ38-1 is a steering rack bearing engineered specifically for electric power steering (EPS) rack assemblies on Lexus and Toyota platforms. With a confirmed envelope of 38×68×26 mm, it serves as the support bearing at the rack’s torque-sensor / pinion interface—the position where axial and radial play translates directly into steering wheel free play, clicking, and the “loose on-center” feel that develops as the original bearing wears.

The BDZ38-1 is available and referenced across several variant suffixes (BDZ38-1A, BDZ38-1J, BDZ381J) that share the same 38×68×26 mm dimensions and the same rack position. In the aftermarket, it is most commonly cross-referenced to H-05088, HEE4040EPD, E4040EPD, and BDZ35-1, making it one of the more thoroughly documented EPS rack bearings for the Lexus GS and IS families. For a rebuilder sourcing by the number on the old bearing, or a distributor stocking a known fast-mover for Lexus EPS racks, the BDZ38-1 provides a defined cross-reference chain rather than an open-ended “38 mm bore bearing” guess.
