Wheel Hub

What does a wheel hub do?

The wheel is attached to the wheel hub. The hub rotates around the axle with the help of the wheel bearing. Together, these parts support the load placed on the wheel while riding.

Wheel hubs vary by vehicle and axle. The design of the bearing and seal may also differ. In this category, you'll find wheel hubs with bearings. Check the product details to see which parts are included in the delivery.

Why is a wheel hub important?

A properly functioning wheel hub with a bearing helps the wheel rotate smoothly and stably. Wear or damage can cause play, noise, or excessive heat.

If you experience these symptoms, have the wheel hub and bearing inspected. Other components around the wheel may also be the cause. An inspection will prevent you from replacing a part when the problem actually lies elsewhere.

What should you look for when making your choice?

First, check the original part number, also known as the OEM number. Also, compare the brand, vehicle type, and axle configuration. A front-axle wheel hub may differ from a rear-axle wheel hub.

Also pay attention to the dimensions, wheel mounting, and bearing type. If necessary, check whether the model is compatible with the ABS system. ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking up during braking. The shape alone is not enough to determine whether a wheel hub will fit.

Applications in Maintenance and Repair

During maintenance, have the bearing, seal, and mounting checked. A damaged seal can allow dirt or moisture to enter and cause lubricant to leak.

Have the wheel installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The method of installation, lubrication, and adjustment depends on the model. After replacement, have a technician check that the wheel turns smoothly and that it is properly secured.
