Detailed Product Description

The Mevotech H512161 wheel bearing and hub assembly is engineered with a Gen 2 design type, providing enhanced strength and longevity compared to earlier versions.

The assembly features a 55 mm inside diameter and a 122 mm outside diameter, dimensions that align precisely with the factory specifications for these vehicles. The four bolt holes allow for secure and stable mounting, while the pre-greased bearing reduces installation time and helps maintain optimal performance under various driving conditions.

This wheel bearing and hub assembly is used to replace worn or damaged components in the front or rear driveline of compatible vehicles. It addresses several common issues, including:

• Excessive wheel play or looseness

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Mevotech H512161 assembly, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Verify that the hub mounting surface is clean and free of debris before installation.
