Detailed Description

The Timken 512190 is a rear wheel bearing and hub assembly designed for vehicles that need dependable hub support and accurate ABS wheel-speed input. For Hyundai Sonata rear and Kia Optima rear applications, the assembly combines precision bearing geometry with improved sealing to help maintain smooth rotation, reduce contamination intrusion, and support longer service life. The same engineering focus also makes it a practical choice for Kia Magentis rear replacement work.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear wheel noise or humming from a worn hub bearing
• Vibration felt through the chassis during driving or braking
• ABS warning concerns related to wheel-speed signal issues
• Excessive wheel play from bearing wear
• Reduced braking consistency caused by hub runout

Installation Notes and Quality

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and the Old Style note for 2001-2006 Kia Optima before installation. Inspect the mounting surface, axle area, and ABS connector condition during replacement, and follow the vehicle service procedure for torque and sensor handling. Timken uses OE-developed testing and 100% ABS sensor verification as part of its manufacturing process for this hub assembly.

Timken 512190 is built to support consistent performance in rear hub service for Hyundai Sonata and Kia Magentis/Optima applications.
