• Rough wheel rotation from worn bearing surfaces or seal contamination

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and position before installation. Confirm the 12mm wheel lug stud note for 2017-2018 Ford Fusion applications, and compare the hub dimensions, spline count, and bolt pattern to the removed part. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly and inspect related suspension and brake components before installing the new hub assembly.
