Detailed Product Description

The MPA Electrical WH513253 wheel bearing and hub assembly is a new, non-greaseable component designed to replace worn or damaged hubs on a range of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. Its steel construction provides the necessary strength to withstand road stresses while maintaining wheel alignment and rotation.

The 36-spline design allows for proper drivetrain connection, and the included gasket or seal helps prevent contamination and moisture ingress. This hub assembly is compatible with ABS systems featuring an encoder type, although the ABS sensor itself is not included.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Replacement for worn or noisy wheel bearings causing vibration or uneven tire wear
• Fixes wheel hub looseness or play affecting vehicle handling and safety
• Restores proper ABS function when paired with compatible sensors
• Addresses wheel stud damage or corrosion impacting wheel mounting security
• Resolves seal failure that can lead to grease leakage and premature bearing wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before beginning installation. Remove the old hub assembly carefully, noting the flange bolt pattern and stud size (M14 x 1.5). Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to ensure proper gasket sealing. Since this assembly is not greaseable, no additional lubrication is required during installation. Verify ABS encoder compatibility and sensor condition to maintain anti-lock braking performance. Torque all bolts to manufacturer specifications for safety and reliability.
