This OE-replacement kit includes a precision-engineered front hub assembly and wheel bearing manufactured to exacting original equipment specifications for reliable, long-lasting performance.

Key Features:

• 96mm bearing diameter for proper fitment

Installation Note: The bearing features a magnetized face that must be pressed in with the correct orientation. If installed with the magnetized face outward, ABS functionality will be compromised and the bearing will need to be replaced. Professional installation with proper pressing equipment is recommended to ensure correct orientation and prevent damage.

Wheel bearings are critical safety components that allow wheels to rotate smoothly while supporting vehicle weight. Failed bearings typically produce groaning, rumbling, or whining noises, especially during turning or highway driving. Excessive play when rocking the tire is another common symptom indicating replacement is needed.
