Performance Automatic Wheel Bearing Assembly Kit
Performance Automatic: Wheel Bearings, Hubs and Garage Gear
Performance Automatic is a compact line that pairs drivetrain-adjacent hardware with shop and garage items. The range is small and focused, so it is easiest to understand by looking at what the products actually do. This page walks through the main product groups so you can see where Performance Automatic fits in your project or workspace.
Wheel Bearing and Hub Components
The core of the lineup is rotating-assembly hardware. A Performance Automatic wheel bearing assembly kit is intended for the job where a worn bearing causes humming, play at the wheel or uneven tire wear. Replacing a bearing with a complete kit helps ensure the related components are renewed together, which is generally easier than sourcing each piece separately.
For vehicles where the bearing is pressed into a hub and sold as one unit, the axle bearing and hub assembly category covers bolt-on replacements. These assemblies save the press work required with separate bearings, which is a real advantage for home mechanics without a shop press. The related hubs category covers the mounting surface that locates the wheel and brake rotor.
What to Check When Replacing a Bearing or Hub
- Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, drive type (2WD or 4WD) and whether ABS is fitted, since these change the correct part.
- Check whether the original unit is a serviceable bearing set or a sealed hub assembly.
- Replace axle nuts, cotter pins or retaining hardware as the service procedure specifies.
- Torque fasteners to factory specifications and check for play after installation.
Tire Storage and Shop Furnishings
Beyond drivetrain parts, Performance Automatic includes garage and showroom items. A spare tire carrier-style rack keeps wheels and tires organized and off the floor, which protects rubber and frees up bay space. The lineup also features a racing-themed barstool, popular for home garages, man caves and shop lounges, along with logo accessories such as a drawstring backpack, tumbler, banner and snapback hat.
Shopping Notes
Because the catalog is limited, fitment details matter more than brand comparison. Read the product listing carefully, match it to your vehicle, and keep your old part for side-by-side comparison before installing. Garage items like racks and stools are straightforward, but check dimensions against your available space.
