HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY

Original equipment-specification hubs and bearings for Ford and Lincoln vehicles

Testing, engineering and manufacturing tolerances held to 25 microns – three times thinner than a piece of paper – compared with some competitors at 250 microns
Optimized sealing effect and a low torque-to-turn ratio to minimize drag and help increase fuel economy
Special bearing seals to help keep out contaminants, the number one cause of bearing failure
Proprietary technology in the design and assembly process, where applicable, that is difficult to reverse engineer, helps ensure quality and helps reduce comebacks
Patented micro-grinding process, where applicable, that helps ensure the smoothest possible hub and rotor interface while helping to avoid premature brake wear and vibration
Helps avoid costly comebacks from pad, rotor or suspension parts problems that aftermarket replacement hubs may contribute to
Meets original equipment test specifications for each specific application

Ford Parts hubs don't compromise quality

Triple-sealed bearing assembly
- Lubed-for-life original equipment hub units provide excellent sealing performance
Integral bearing races
- Specifically designed to each application, no one-size-fits-all solution
Precision forging
- Materials, engineering and production processes minimize any possibility of the hub cracking
Micro-ground hub-to-rotor mating surface
- Tolerances held below 25 microns to help prevent noise and vibration
Wheel studs
- Original equipment specifications minimize any possibility of the hub cracking
Precision ABS sensor ring and sensor
- Original equipment ring and pigtail feature high-strength polymer and copper wiring for positive connections and conductivity, providing excellent ABS signal
Tapered roller bearings
- For high load rates when specified

What happens when disc thickness variation is too high?

Genuine Parts hubs are micro-ground to help ensure the smoothest possible interface for nesting/mating with the rotor. Any runout wobble or imperfection on the rotor mounting surface of a hub, such as some found in the aftermarket, can be magnified by two times in the brake pad and cause premature wear and comebacks.
