Timken 512326 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly - Rear

Timken 512326 Rear Hub Assembly

Timken 512326 is a rear wheel bearing and hub assembly built for select Hyundai and Kia applications, including the Hyundai Santa Fe, Santa Fe Sport, Santa Fe XL, Veracruz, and Kia Sorento. It combines OE-developed testing, precision bearing construction, and integrated ABS monitoring to support stable wheel operation and consistent braking performance.

Key Features

• Rear wheel bearing and hub assembly for non-driven applications
• Low runout design helps reduce wheel noise and vibration
• Premium seals use reinforced construction and contamination control features
• Precision-profile bearings with uniform internal geometry and refined surface finishes
• ABS sensor is 100% tested for wheel speed monitoring
• Direct-fit dimensions include a 4-bolt flange, 5 wheel studs, 4.500 bolt circle, and 92.00 mm hub pilot diameter

Detailed Description

Built to Timken OE-level standards, part number 512326 is engineered for rear axle service on vehicles such as the 2007-2020 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL, 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, 2011-2015 Kia Sorento, and 2007-2012 Hyundai Veracruz. The assembly uses precision bearing profiles and controlled internal geometry to support load capacity, bearing life, and efficient operation. Its low-runout construction helps limit vibration and brake-related noise, while the sealed design is intended to maintain cleaner internal operation over time. This part cross-references SKF BR930646 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear wheel noise or humming from a worn hub bearing
• Wheel vibration caused by excessive hub runout
• ABS warning light or wheel speed signal issues from a failing sensor
• Uneven braking feel related to hub instability
• Loose or rough rear wheel rotation from bearing wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and position before installation. Confirm the 4-bolt flange pattern, 5-stud wheel mounting, 114.30 mm bolt circle, and 92.00 mm hub pilot diameter match the vehicle specification. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly and inspect adjacent brake and suspension components for wear before installing Timken 512326 on a Hyundai Santa Fe, Santa Fe Sport, Santa Fe XL, Veracruz, or Kia Sorento.

Quality Assurance

Timken manufactures hub bearing assemblies using OE-developed testing to control design, materials, and production processes. The ABS sensor is tested for wheel speed monitoring, and the bearing and seal construction are engineered to support consistent performance in rear wheel service.
