Product Features:
  • 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 lubricated-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
  • Original equipment specifications minimize any possibility of the hub cracking
  • Original equipment ABS sensor ring and sensor 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
