Detailed Description

Built for Ford Explorer hub replacement needs, Timken HA590446 is engineered around OE-developed test standards that control design, materials, and manufacturing process. The result is a wheel bearing and hub assembly focused on smooth rotation, reduced noise and vibration, and dependable braking feel. With a 4.500-inch bolt circle, 92.00 mm hub pilot diameter, 63.25 mm wheel pilot diameter, and 67.00 mm brake pilot diameter, this assembly is specified for the correct fit and alignment on listed Explorer applications. Timken HA590446 also uses premium seals and a tested ABS sensor to support wheel-speed signal accuracy in Anti-lock Braking Systems.

This part cross-references MOOG 512460 and SKF BR930809 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Wheel bearing noise from worn hub components
• Steering or braking vibration caused by hub runout
• ABS warning light concerns related to wheel-speed signal issues
• Loose or rough wheel rotation from bearing wear
• Fitment problems on rear or front Ford Explorer hub service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position before ordering, since this part fits rear 2011-2019 Ford Explorer applications and front 2011-2017 Ford Explorer applications. Confirm spline count, bolt pattern, and pilot diameters against the original hub before installation. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly and inspect related suspension and brake components so the new hub assembly seats correctly and operates smoothly.
