Timken 513100 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly - Front

Timken 513100 Front Hub Assembly

Timken 513100 is a front wheel bearing and hub assembly built for driven applications that demand stable wheel support, accurate ABS signal monitoring, and consistent braking feel. It is a direct-fit option for select Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Lincoln Continental models.

Key Features

• OE-developed testing helps control design, materials, and manufacturing process
• Low runout helps reduce wheel noise and vibration while supporting braking performance
• Premium seals use a reinforced outer case, ribbed inner diameter, contamination exclusion features, and vent holes for improved sealing and durability
• Precision-profile bearings with uniform internal geometry and enhanced surface finishes support load capacity and bearing life
• 100% tested ABS sensor monitors wheel speed for anti-lock braking systems
• Driven hub design with 26 splines, 5 wheel studs, and 3 flange bolt holes

Detailed Description

This Timken wheel bearing and hub assembly is engineered for front axle service on 1995-2007 Lincoln Continental, 1996-2007 Ford Taurus, and 1996-2005 Mercury Sable applications. Part number 513100 is built with attention to hub runout, seal integrity, and bearing geometry to support smooth rotation and reliable wheel-speed sensing. The assembly’s 4.250-inch bolt circle, 5.472-inch flange diameter, 3.366-inch hub pilot diameter, and 1.413-inch flange offset are key dimensions for proper fitment on the listed vehicles. If you are replacing a worn front hub on a Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, or Lincoln Continental, Timken 513100 provides the dimensional and sensor features needed for a correct repair.

This part cross-references SKF BR930179 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Wheel bearing noise from a worn front hub assembly
• Steering wheel or chassis vibration related to hub runout
• ABS warning light concerns caused by a failing wheel speed sensor
• Uneven braking feel linked to hub instability
• Excessive play or rough rotation at the front wheel

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, bolt circle diameter, hub pilot diameter, and brake pilot diameter before installation. Confirm front-position fitment for your exact year and model, especially on 1996-2007 Ford Taurus, 1996-2005 Mercury Sable, and 1995-2002 Lincoln Continental vehicles. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly and inspect related suspension and brake components for wear before installing the new hub assembly.

Quality Assurance

Timken uses OE-developed testing and controlled manufacturing methods to help maintain consistent performance across hub bearing assemblies. The ABS sensor is fully tested for wheel-speed monitoring, and the bearing and seal design are engineered to support durability, sealing performance, and smooth operation.
