3. What is a Wheel Hub?
• Let's start with the basics. A wheel hub is the axle and
bearing mechanism around which the wheel revolves. It is
the mounting assembly for the wheel of a vehicle and
houses the wheel bearings. Some vehicles will also have
the speed sensor attached to the wheel hub assembly,
which will be attached with an electrical connector. A full
wheel hub assembly in most cases will include the wheel
hub unit, the bearings, seals and sensors. Without the
wheel hub, your vehicle will not turn as freely as it should,
and handling would be extremely difficult. You can find

5. Symptoms of a Failing Wheel Bearing
• Wheel Vibration/Wobble
– Most of the time when there's wheel vibration or wobble,
it is associated to a damaged or worn tires or suspension.
When it is related to the wheel hub, this indicates the loss
of clamp or the wheel hub has a bearing with severe
mechanical damage. This can also occur when lug nuts are
not properly torqued into place.

making sharp turns.

– Abnormal pull normally indicates a defective
caliper or worn brakes or warped rotors, but
severe bearing looseness can also cause excessive
runout. Runout will cause the brakes to pulsate or
pull.

9. Frequently Asked Questions
1. How Many Studs Do You Have?
A common question that we ask for certain wheel hubs is, "How many
studs does your current wheel hub assembly have?" Some vehicles vary,
even though they are the same model and year of manufacturing. Simply
count the number of studs, which are the threaded fasteners that hold on
the wheels to the wheel hubs, to find out how many your vehicle has.

10. Frequently Asked Questions
2. What does it mean when I am asked if I have 2 Wheel or 4 Wheel
ABS?
"ABS" stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which will prevent the wheels
from skidding while you slow down or brake. This will allow the vehicle to
stop faster and maintain steering while you stop. To determine if your
vehicle has 2 wheel or 4 wheel ABS, check your wheel hubs for an
electrical sensor or wiring. 2 wheel ABS will only have electrical
connections on one axle, while 4 wheel ABS will have it on both front and
rear axles.
