Key Features

• Front wheel bearing and hub assembly for driven applications
• 36-spline design with a 3-bolt mounting flange
• 5 wheel studs for direct wheel mounting
• Low runout construction to reduce noise and vibration
• Premium seals with contamination control features for longer service life
• Precision bearing profiles and enhanced surface finishes for load support and efficiency
• 100% tested ABS sensor for wheel-speed monitoring

Detailed Description

Timken HA590198 is a direct-fit hub assembly designed around OE-developed testing, materials, and manufacturing controls. The assembly uses precision bearing geometry and refined internal surfaces to support consistent wheel rotation, while the low-runout design helps reduce brake pulsation, noise, and vibration. Premium sealing features help protect the bearing from contamination and installation damage, and the integrated ABS sensor is tested to monitor wheel speed for Anti-lock Braking Systems. This makes HA590198 a practical replacement for front hub service on Volkswagen Eos, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen GTI, Volkswagen Golf City, Volkswagen R32, and Audi A3 models listed below.

This part cross-references SKF BR930823 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix
