Detailed Description

This Timken hub assembly is engineered for the rear of the Honda Civic and uses premium bearing construction with uniform internal geometry to support load capacity, bearing life, and efficient wheel-end operation. Low runout helps reduce noise and vibration, while the sealed design uses reinforced sealing features to help protect the bearing from contamination and installation damage. Timken 512174 is a direct-fit wheel bearing and hub assembly for 2001-2005 Honda Civic rear applications.

What It Helps Address

• Wheel bearing noise from a worn rear hub assembly
• Vibration or roughness at the rear wheel end
• ABS warning concerns related to wheel-speed signal issues
• Brake pulsation or uneven wheel-end operation caused by hub runout
• Loose or inconsistent wheel mounting at the rear hub

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, model, and hub dimensions before installation. Inspect the mating surfaces, axle area, and brake components for wear or contamination during service. Confirm ABS connector routing and sensor alignment during replacement, and torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.

Quality Assurance

Timken uses OE-developed testing and controlled manufacturing processes for hub bearing assemblies. The ABS sensor is fully tested, and the bearing and seal design is built to support consistent performance in rear wheel-end service.
