Detailed Description

Timken 513085 is a front wheel bearing and hub assembly engineered for the Chevrolet Corvette from 1991 through 1996. It uses precision-profile bearings, uniform internal geometry, and refined surface finishes to support load capacity, bearing life, and efficient wheel-end operation. Low runout helps reduce noise and vibration while supporting stable braking feel. Premium sealing features help protect the bearing from contamination and support seal durability during service. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Wheel bearing noise from the front hub area
• Vibration or roughness felt through the steering or chassis
• ABS warning concerns related to wheel speed signal issues
• Uneven braking feel caused by excessive hub runout
• Front-end service needs on a 1991-1996 Chevrolet Corvette

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 1991-1996 Chevrolet Corvette, front application before installation. Confirm the bolt circle, pilot diameters, and flange dimensions match the original hub assembly. Clean the mounting surfaces thoroughly and inspect the knuckle, axle interface, and brake components for wear or damage before installing the new hub. If the ABS system is equipped, check the sensor connection and wheel speed signal after installation.

Quality Assurance

Timken manufactures hub bearing assemblies using OE-developed testing and controlled design, material, and process standards. The ABS sensor function is 100% tested to monitor wheel speed for anti-lock braking system operation.
