Detailed Description

InMotion WB510096 is a front wheel bearing engineered for 2009-2013 Mazda 3 and 2005 Mazda 3 front applications from 1/1/05. Its 42 mm inside diameter, 80 mm outside diameter, and 45 mm width provide the dimensional fit needed for the specified hub assembly, while the double-row ball design supports stable rotation under everyday driving loads. The integrated ABS encoder helps maintain wheel speed signal function on vehicles equipped with anti-lock braking systems. This part number, WB510096, is a direct-fit service option for front wheel bearing replacement on the listed Mazda 3 vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Wheel noise from a worn front bearing
• Excessive hub play or looseness
• Rough or inconsistent wheel rotation
• ABS warning concerns related to encoder-equipped bearing service
• Vibration or instability traced to front wheel bearing wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a front-wheel application before ordering. Confirm the 42 mm inside diameter, 80 mm outside diameter, and 45 mm width against the original bearing and hub assembly. Because this bearing includes an ABS encoder, inspect the wheel speed sensor and tone/encoder surfaces during service to help ensure proper system operation. Professional installation is recommended for accurate press-fit bearing replacement.

Quality Assurance

Built from high-quality materials for durability and consistent operation in automotive service. The Gen 1, double-row ball bearing design is intended to deliver reliable performance in the specified Mazda 3 front wheel applications.
