Detailed Description

Timken 512169 is engineered for rear wheel-end service on the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Chrysler Voyager. The assembly uses a 4-bolt flange, 5 wheel studs, a 4.500-inch bolt circle, 140.00 mm flange diameter, 48.00 mm flange offset, 71.40 mm wheel pilot diameter, 71.90 mm brake pilot diameter, and 86.00 mm hub pilot diameter. These dimensions are important when matching a rear hub bearing assembly for the listed vehicles.

Timken applies OE-developed testing to the design, materials, and manufacturing process of this hub assembly. The result is a rear wheel bearing and hub assembly built to maintain smooth wheel rotation, reduce runout, and support braking consistency. The integrated ABS sensor is tested to monitor wheel speed for the anti-lock braking system, making Timken 512169 a direct-fit service part for the specified rear applications. This part number is also referenced as Timken 512169.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear wheel bearing noise or growling
• Wheel vibration caused by hub runout
• ABS wheel speed signal faults from a worn hub sensor
• Uneven braking feel related to hub instability
• Excessive wheel-end play or looseness

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and hub dimensions before installation. Confirm the 4.500-inch bolt circle, 5-stud pattern, and pilot diameters match the original part on the vehicle. Inspect the knuckle, axle area, and brake components for wear or damage before installing the new hub assembly. Follow factory torque specifications and ABS service procedures during installation.

Quality Assurance

Timken manufactures this hub bearing assembly using OE-developed test standards and controlled processes for design, materials, and production. Premium seals, precision bearing geometry, and tested ABS sensing support consistent performance in the listed Chrysler and Dodge rear applications.
