Detailed Description

Timken SP500701 uses OE-developed testing methods to control the design, materials, and manufacturing process of the hub bearing assembly. The result is a front hub assembly engineered for smooth wheel rotation, stable load handling, and reliable ABS performance on vehicles such as the 2004-2007 Nissan TITAN, 2005-2007 Nissan Armada, and 2004-2007 INFINITI QX56. This part number, SP500701, is built with premium bearings, precision internal geometry, and enhanced surface finishes to support load capacity and bearing life.

Premium seal construction helps protect the bearing from contamination while supporting positive sealing during service. Timken SP500701 also cross-references SKF BR930637 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Front wheel bearing noise
• Wheel vibration or runout-related drivability issues
• ABS wheel speed signal faults tied to the hub assembly
• Uneven braking feel caused by hub instability
• Excessive play or looseness at the front wheel

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s front axle configuration, spline count, and hub dimensions before installation. Confirm fitment for 2007 Nissan TITAN front applications with the note “Through 04/2007,” since later 2007 builds are not listed. Always compare the existing hub, ABS connector, and mounting pattern to the vehicle specifications before service. For search accuracy, this front hub assembly is commonly selected for Nissan TITAN front hub replacement, Nissan Armada front wheel bearing service, and INFINITI QX56 front hub repair.

Quality Assurance

Timken states that its hub bearing assemblies are manufactured using OE-developed test control over design, materials, and process. The ABS sensor is 100% tested, and the bearing/seal design is intended to support consistent performance, contamination resistance, and long service life.
