Detailed Description

Timken 512427 is engineered for rear axle service on Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper Countryman models listed below. Timken uses OE-developed testing to control the design, materials, and manufacturing process of its hub bearing assemblies, helping maintain consistent performance in daily driving. The bearing package uses precision profiles, uniform internal geometry, and enhanced surface finishes to support load capacity, bearing life, and fuel efficiency. Premium seals with reinforced construction and contamination control features help protect the assembly during service. This part cross-references SKF BR930763 for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 2007-2015 Mini Cooper, rear
• Fits 2011-2012 Mini Cooper Countryman, rear
• Fits 2006 Mini Cooper, rear, from 04/2006

Common Replacement Reasons

• Rear wheel bearing noise or growling
• Wheel play or looseness at the hub
• ABS wheel speed signal faults related to the hub assembly
• Brake vibration or inconsistent braking feel from hub runout
• Uneven bearing wear on Mini Cooper rear suspension service

Installation Notes

Confirm rear fitment by model year and production date before installation, especially for 2006 Mini Cooper vehicles built from 04/2006. Verify the 4-bolt flange pattern, 100 mm bolt circle, 58 mm wheel pilot diameter, and 64 mm brake pilot diameter against the original part. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly and inspect adjacent suspension and brake components before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Timken validates hub bearing assemblies with OE-developed testing and 100% ABS sensor verification. The 512427 is manufactured with controlled materials and processes to support consistent fit and performance in service.
