Technical Specifications

Installation Procedure

1. Preparation: Secure the vehicle on a lift and remove the front wheel. Disconnect the brake caliper to access the bearing assembly.
2. Removal: Use a bearing puller to extract the old bearing. Carefully note the orientation of the ABS sensor ring.
3. Installation: Place the new bearing into the hub, aligning the sensor ring with the vehicle’s ABS module. Tighten the retaining nut to the specified torque.
4. Reassembly: Reinstall the brake caliper, wheel, and perform a brake fluid bleed if necessary.
5. Verification: Test drive the vehicle to confirm smooth wheel rotation and proper ABS functionality.

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Ride Comfort: The precision‑machined bearings reduce vibration and noise, contributing to a quieter cabin experience.
• Improved Braking Reliability: The integrated ABS sensor ring ensures accurate wheel speed readings, maintaining optimal braking performance.
• Extended Service Life: High‑grade materials and robust construction reduce wear, extending the interval between replacements.
• Consistent Handling: Balanced bearing performance preserves vehicle stability and steering responsiveness.

Maintenance Tips

Although the ABS 201112 Wheel Bearing Kit is designed for longevity, routine checks can further safeguard performance:

• Inspect the bearing housing for cracks or deformation during scheduled maintenance.
• Verify that the ABS sensor ring remains properly aligned and free from debris.
• Monitor wheel noise or vibration during driving; any irregularities may indicate bearing wear.
