Detailed Product Description

The BCA WE60468 wheel bearing and hub assembly is a driven component designed to replace worn or damaged hubs on Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass, and Jeep Patriot vehicles. It features a 25-spline axle interface that ensures a secure connection to the drivetrain. The assembly includes five M12x1.5 wheel studs and four flange bolt holes, providing a robust mounting surface for the wheel. The flange offset measures 2.386 inches (60.6 mm), which is critical for maintaining correct wheel alignment and handling characteristics.

This hub assembly also incorporates an ABS encoder, compatible with the vehicle's anti-lock braking system, to maintain accurate wheel speed sensor readings. The bolt circle diameter of 114.3 mm (4.5 inches) and knuckle bolt circle diameter of 98 mm (3.858 inches) correspond to the factory specifications for these models, ensuring a direct fit without modification. Both the wheel and brake pilot diameters are 2.638 inches (67.0 mm), which helps center the wheel and brake components precisely.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Replacement for noisy or worn wheel bearings causing vibration or roughness
• Fixes wheel hub play or looseness affecting steering stability
• Restores proper ABS sensor function when the encoder is damaged
• Addresses uneven tire wear due to hub misalignment
• Eliminates wheel hub noise during acceleration or braking

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before beginning installation. Remove the existing hub assembly carefully, noting the orientation of the ABS encoder. Clean the knuckle mounting surface to remove debris and corrosion for proper seating. Torque all bolts to manufacturer specifications, and verify ABS sensor connections are intact. After installation, test drive the vehicle to confirm the absence of noise and proper ABS operation.
