Detailed Product Description

The MPA Electrical WH513220 wheel bearing and hub assembly is a direct replacement part designed specifically for Subaru vehicles such as the Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, WRX, and XV Crosstrek. This assembly features a 27-spline interface that ensures proper connection to the drivetrain components. The trapezoid flange shape with four bolt holes provides a secure mounting surface, while the flange diameter of 4.883 inches and offset of 1.927 inches maintain correct wheel positioning. The assembly includes an encoder type ABS interface, compatible with vehicles equipped with anti-lock braking systems, although the ABS sensor itself is not included. A gasket or seal is included to help prevent contamination and maintain bearing integrity. The hub pilot diameter of 2.989 inches ensures precise wheel alignment, and the five M12 x 1.25 wheel studs provide a secure fit for the wheel. Constructed from steel, this new assembly offers durability and reliable performance under normal driving conditions.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Replacement for worn or damaged wheel bearing and hub assemblies on Subaru Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, WRX, and XV Crosstrek
• Addresses wheel noise or vibration caused by bearing wear
• Resolves ABS warning light issues related to encoder interface problems
• Corrects wheel alignment and mounting issues due to flange or pilot diameter wear
• Prevents grease leakage and contamination with included gasket or seal

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your specific Subaru model and year before installation. The flange includes four bolt holes and five wheel studs sized M12 x 1.25, so verify that your wheel hardware matches these specifications. Since the assembly is not greaseable, no additional lubrication is required during installation. The ABS encoder interface requires proper connection to the vehicle’s ABS system; however, the ABS sensor is not included and must be reused or replaced separately if needed. Use appropriate tools to avoid damaging the trapezoid flange or splines during installation.
