Fitment includes 2007-2020 Hyundai Santa Fe, rear; 2007-2014 Hyundai Santa Fe, front; 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, rear; 2013-2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, front; 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL, rear; 2007-2012 Hyundai Veracruz, front and rear; and 2011-2015 Kia Sorento, front and rear. If you are replacing a worn hub on a Hyundai Santa Fe or Kia Sorento, Timken 513266 provides a direct OE-style service part for the listed positions.

What It Helps Address

• Wheel bearing noise from worn internal components
• Vibration or roughness at the wheel end
• ABS warning concerns related to wheel-speed signal issues
• Brake pulsation or uneven braking feel caused by hub runout
• Premature bearing wear from contamination or seal failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position before ordering, since this part is listed for both front and rear applications depending on model and year. Confirm bolt circle, flange dimensions, and wheel pilot measurements 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 hub assembly design, materials, and manufacturing processes. The ABS sensor is fully tested for wheel-speed monitoring, and the bearing and seal construction is specified to support consistent performance in service.
