ABS 201152 Wheel Hubs

ABS 201152 Wheel Hub

The ABS 201152 Wheel Hub is a precision‑engineered component designed to provide reliable performance and durability for modern front and rear axle assemblies in Hyundai, Kia, and related vehicles. This hub integrates an ABS sensor, a high‑quality bearing set, and a robust mounting interface that meets OEM specifications.

Key Functional Features

• Integrated ABS Sensor: The hub houses a built‑in ABS sensor that communicates directly with the vehicle’s braking system. This eliminates the need for separate sensor brackets and ensures accurate wheel speed detection during emergency braking.
• High‑Performance Bearing Set: A full bearing assembly is incorporated into the hub, providing smooth rotation and reducing wear on the axle shaft. The bearings are engineered to withstand high torque loads typical of front‑wheel drive configurations.
• Robust Construction: Made from hardened steel with a protective coating, the hub resists corrosion and fatigue over extended service life. Its design accommodates both left‑hand and right‑hand mounting positions.
• OEM Compatibility: The part number 201152 matches original equipment specifications for Hyundai i10, i20, Getz, Accent III, Kia Picanto, Rio II, and other models from the early 2000s to mid‑2010s. This ensures a perfect fit without modification.

Installation Overview

Installing the ABS 201152 Wheel Hub involves the following steps:

1. Remove the existing wheel hub and bearing assembly from the axle shaft.
2. Align the new hub with the mounting flange on the vehicle’s suspension arm or steering knuckle.
3. Screw the hub into place using the supplied bolts, ensuring torque specifications are met.
4. Reconnect the ABS sensor wiring harness to the hub’s integrated connector.
5. Reinstall the wheel and perform a brake system diagnostic to confirm sensor operation.

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Braking Reliability: The integrated ABS sensor provides real‑time wheel speed data, improving braking stability during sudden stops.
• Reduced Maintenance: With bearings pre‑installed, the hub eliminates a common point of failure and reduces service intervals.
• Consistent Handling: The precise fit and balanced construction maintain vehicle handling characteristics identical to OEM performance.

Material & Finish

The hub is fabricated from high‑strength alloy steel, then subjected to a thermal oxidation process that yields a durable, corrosion‑resistant surface. This finish protects the component against road salts and environmental exposure.
