MPA Electrical WH512263 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly - Rear Left or Rear Right

Wheel Bearing Hub Overview

The MPA Electrical WH512263 is a new wheel bearing and hub assembly built for rear applications on the Honda Element. It combines a steel hub flange with an encoder-style ABS interface and a sealed design for direct replacement service.

Key Features

• Steel construction with an integrated flange for hub and bearing service.
• Encoder-style ABS configuration for vehicles using a tone-ring style signal.
• Seal included to support a closed bearing assembly.
• Flange bolt pattern with five holes and an irregular flange shape.
• Fits rear left and rear right Honda Element applications.

Detailed Description

MPA Electrical WH512263 is a wheel bearing and hub assembly for 2003-2011 Honda Element rear positions. It is built as a new steel unit with the hub flange already included, along with a gasket or seal, and it uses an encoder-type ABS setup without an included sensor or wiring harness. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 42200-SCV-A11, 42200-SCV-A12) for the same application.

For Honda Element owners replacing a worn rear hub, this assembly provides the bearing, hub, and flange interface in one service part. The 3.172-inch hub pilot diameter and 2.159 flange offset are important fitment details for matching the original mounting geometry. The WH512263 is listed for both rear left and rear right positions on the Honda Element.

Common Replacement Issues

• Wheel bearing noise from the rear hub area.
• ABS warning concerns related to the encoder-style hub signal.
• Excessive play or looseness at the wheel mounting point.
• Corrosion or wear at the hub flange and seal area.

Installation Notes

Verify rear position fitment before installation on the Honda Element. Confirm axle nut torque to the vehicle specification listed in the fitment notes: 131 ft-lbs / 181 Nm. Check the ABS sensor arrangement and wiring before service, since the sensor and harness are not included with this assembly.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical markets this hub and bearing line as quality-built hubs and bearings. WH512263 is a new replacement part designed for service use on the specified Honda Element applications.
