Detailed Description

Timken 513230 is engineered for front axle service on select Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles. The assembly uses precision bearing profiles, uniform internal geometry, and refined surface finishes to support load capacity, bearing life, and efficient operation. Low runout helps control wheel-end noise and vibration while supporting more consistent braking feel. Premium sealing features are used to improve contamination resistance and sealing durability, and the ABS sensor is tested to monitor wheel speed for anti-lock brake system operation.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Wheel-end humming or growling from a worn hub bearing
• Excessive vibration or noise at the front axle
• Brake pulsation or inconsistent braking feel related to hub runout
• ABS warning light caused by wheel-speed sensor signal issues
• Loose or rough wheel rotation from bearing wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s build date before ordering, especially for 2005 Ford Crown Victoria and 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis applications noted as from 2/23/05. Verify the bolt circle, pilot diameters, flange offset, and ABS configuration against the original hub assembly before installation. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly and inspect related suspension and brake components for wear that could affect hub performance.

Quality Assurance

Timken uses OE-developed testing to control the design, materials, and manufacturing process of its hub bearing assemblies. That process supports consistent performance, and the ABS sensor is 100% tested for wheel-speed monitoring.
