Fits 2020-2024 Kia Forte, rear; 2019-2021 Hyundai Veloster, rear; and 2018-2020 Hyundai Elantra GT, rear. This part cross-references 52730-G3AA0 for the same application.

Key Features

• Wheel bearing and hub assembly for rear wheel-end service
• Flange included for a complete hub assembly replacement
• Wheel studs included for direct service replacement
• Built with SKF wheel-end technology and premium components
• X-Tracker high-performance hub design for improved stiffness and load capacity

Detailed Description

SKF BR931229 is engineered as a rear hub assembly for Hyundai Elantra GT, Hyundai Veloster, and Kia Forte applications. The design uses a double-row angular contact ball bearing arrangement, which increases bearing capacity and improves hub stiffness compared with a conventional tapered bearing hub. SKF also states that the X-Tracker hub design can improve handling and braking performance under demanding conditions.

The hub assembly includes the flange and wheel studs, helping reduce the number of separate parts needed during service. Key dimensions include a 4.094 bolt circle diameter, 5.433 flange diameter, 2.913 hub pilot diameter, 2.638 wheel pilot diameter, and 2.992 brake pilot diameter. The BR931229 part number is useful when matching the correct rear wheel bearing and hub assembly for these vehicle-specific applications.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Wheel bearing noise from a worn rear hub assembly
• Excessive play or looseness at the wheel end
• Uneven braking feel caused by hub wear
• Reduced wheel-end stability from bearing fatigue
• Service delays when the hub and bearing must be replaced together

Installation Notes

Verify fitment by year, make, model, and rear position before installation. Confirm the bolt circle diameter, pilot diameters, and flange dimensions against the original part. The BR931229 is a rear application only and should be matched to the vehicle’s original hub configuration.
