Fitment decision

Integrated hub or serviceable bearing?

CheckIntegrated hub unitServiceable bearing
FitmentMatch the hub flange, pilot and ABS encoder or sensor interface.Match bore, outer diameter, width and seal lip orientation.
Trade-offReplaces the assembled unit. The quote needs to cover the complete flange and hardware scope.Can retain a serviceable hub where the vehicle allows it. Confirm tooling and the vehicle procedure for bearing preload or endplay.
EvidenceAsk for a flange drawing and an encoder specification tied to the quoted revision.Ask for a dimensioned drawing and a kit contents list. A shared OE cross reference alone leaves these points open.

Sourcing questions

Before sending your brief

Fitment

Is an OE cross reference enough?

Use it to start. If a front wheel bearing varies within a model year, add the VIN or production range, axle position and encoder configuration before approving a match.

What if a bearing looks identical in photos?

Compare the drawing and check which side carries the encoder. Record any seal or sensor difference against the exact part number.

Commercial terms

How are MOQ and lead time established?

Ask each supplier to quote the MOQ by SKU and the lead-time trigger, such as approved sample or confirmed order. Capture both in the comparison.

Can I request a third-party inspection?

List the measurements, quantities to check and acceptance criteria. We coordinate the brief with the provider you approve.

Send the first part number

Start with the vehicle, OE reference, quantity and destination. Flag any measurements you still need to confirm.
