FAQs
How do I know if my wheel hub needs replacing?
Symptoms include humming or grinding noises that change with speed, clicking sounds when turning, or a noticeable wobble in the steering wheel. A mechanic can diagnose worn wheel bearings or hub damage.
What is the bolt hole circle diameter?
The bolt hole circle diameter (PCD) for this hub is 100 mm. This measurement is critical for ensuring the wheel bolts align correctly with the hub.
Can I use this hub on a different vehicle model than listed?
It is strongly recommended to only use this hub on compatible vehicles as specified. Using it on an incompatible model can compromise safety and vehicle performance. Always verify fitment.
What does '36 teeth' refer to?
The 36 teeth refer to the splines on the hub that engage with the corresponding splines on the vehicle's drive axle. This ensures a secure connection for power transfer.
How can I verify compatibility if I'm unsure?
Consult your vehicle's owner's manual, use online vehicle fitment tools, or contact our customer support with your vehicle's year, make, model, and VIN for assistance.
Are there any specific tools required for installation?
Yes, installing a wheel hub typically requires a torque wrench, appropriate sockets, and potentially a bearing press. Professional installation is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Warping or abnormal noise from the wheel area.
This could indicate a worn or damaged wheel hub. Inspect for play in the wheel bearing and consider replacement. Ensure correct torque specifications were used during installation.
Difficulty fitting the hub onto the axle.
Verify that you have the correct part number for your vehicle. Ensure the axle splines and hub splines are clean and free from obstructions. Do not force the hub; it should slide on smoothly.
Premature wheel bearing failure.
Ensure the wheel hub was installed correctly with the proper tools and torque. Contamination or improper seating can lead to bearing issues. Check for damage to the hub surface where the bearing sits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Verification: Before installation, always use the make model tool or consult your vehicle's service manual to confirm that the QWH162 wheel hub is the correct part for your specific year, make, and model. Cross-reference numbers like ASAM AUTOMOTIVE 32991 or FEBI BILSTEIN 22512 can also aid in verification.
Installation: Installation of a wheel hub typically requires specialized tools, including a torque wrench, bearing press, and socket set. It is recommended to have this part installed by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper fitment and function. Follow the manufacturer's torque specifications meticulously.
Care: Wheel hubs are generally maintenance-free components. However, during routine brake inspections or tire rotations, visually inspect the hub for any signs of damage, corrosion, or excessive play. Ensure the mounting bolts are clean and free from debris before reassembly.
