Wheel Hub: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION

The front wheel bearing and wheel hub of this vehicle are a one-piece sealed unit or hub and bearing unit type assembly.





On Rear-Wheel Drive SRT8 vehicles, the hub and bearing (1) is mounted to the center of the spindle using a retaining nut.

All front hub and bearings have five wheel mounting studs (3) on the hub flange for mounting the wheel to the vehicle. The wheel mounting studs are the only replaceable components of the hub and bearing. Otherwise, the hub and bearing is serviced only as a complete assembly.

A magnetic encoder (2) for the wheel speed sensor is pressed onto the hub and bearing.
