NSK KH30008 Wheel Bearing Kit - Rear

NSK PROKIT Rear Wheel Bearing Kit

The NSK PROKIT KH30008 is a rear wheel bearing kit built for select Mini Cooper applications with ABS. It combines a vehicle-specific hub and bearing design with a magnetic encoder seal for direct ABS signal input and consistent wheel-end performance.

For Mini Cooper rear service, this kit supports precise fitment, low-friction operation, and sealed-for-life convenience. The PROKIT line focuses on OE-style engineering for applications that demand stable bearing life and dependable performance in everyday driving.

Key Features

• Vehicle-specific OE technology for fit, form, and performance
• Superfinished precision-matched bearing raceway for low-friction operation
• Advanced multi-lip sealing for resistance to water and contamination
• Sealed-for-life design with premium all-weather grease
• Integrated magnetic encoder seal for immediate ABS sensor response
• ABS equipped design with magnetic encoder tone ring type
• Rear, non-driven wheel bearing kit for select Mini Cooper models

Detailed Product Overview

NSK KH30008 is a rear wheel bearing kit engineered for 2002-2006 Mini Cooper models with ABS, including 2006 Mini Cooper rear applications through 04/2006 and 2002-2005 Mini Cooper rear applications. It is built around NSK’s PROKIT approach, which emphasizes OE-style dimensional accuracy, bearing life, and stable operation under demanding road conditions. The hub assembly uses a magnetic encoder to deliver a clean ABS signal, while the sealed construction helps keep out moisture and road contamination. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Rear wheel bearing noise such as humming, growling, or rumbling
• ABS warning light concerns related to encoder signal issues
• Wheel-end looseness or rough bearing rotation
• Contamination-related bearing wear from water or road debris
• Loss of smooth rear hub operation on Mini Cooper models

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear fitment by year and note that this part is for non-driven applications. Verify the wheel thread stud size M12 and the mounting-hole configuration before installation. The hub assembly is intended for Mini Cooper rear service where the ABS system uses a magnetic encoder signal. Always inspect surrounding suspension and brake components for wear before completing the repair.
