Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s front application, bolt circle, wheel stud size, and ABS encoder configuration before installation. Inspect the knuckle, axle interface, and mating surfaces for wear or corrosion so the new hub seats correctly. Because this assembly is for non-driven front applications, confirm the drivetrain and trim match the listed BMW fitment before ordering.
