The HUB SUB-ASSY is a precision-machined steel assembly that mounts the wheel and brake rotor to the suspension knuckle while transmitting all cornering, braking, and drive forces between the wheel and the vehicle structure. On driven axles the hub incorporates a splined inner bore that engages the CV axle shaft, transferring engine torque to the wheel. The hub rotates on a sealed double-row angular contact bearing pressed into or integrated with the hub body — Generation 3 hub bearing units combine the hub flange, inner and outer bearing races, and ABS reluctor ring encoder into a single non-serviceable assembly that bolts directly to the knuckle, eliminating the need for separate bearing press-fitting.
This unit — GEELY 4017019800 — is manufactured to OEM-equivalent specifications: hub flange pilot diameter, bolt circle diameter (BCD), stud thread pitch and projection length, bearing preload, spline count and fit on driven hubs, and integrated ABS encoder ring pole count are matched to the original part. Supplied as a direct bolt-in replacement for standard fitment. Available wholesale from 9.74 USD, MOQ 1 pcs, production lead time 25-55 days.
Hub bearing wear is caused by water and road contamination ingress through the bearing seal after high-mileage seal degradation, corrosion from road salt, and fatigue from cornering loads — particularly on front axles that carry combined steering, braking, and drive loads simultaneously. The definitive diagnostic test is to raise the wheel and check for radial and axial play by gripping the tyre at 3 and 9 o'clock positions and attempting to rock it — any play beyond approximately 0.05 mm indicates bearing wear. Confirm the source is the hub bearing rather than a worn ball joint by gripping the tyre at 12 and 6 o'clock instead, which loads the ball joint rather than the bearing.
- Raise and support the vehicle, remove the wheel, and loosen the hub centre nut before lifting — on driven axles the hub nut (typically M24–M30, 200–350 Nm) must be loosened with the wheel on the ground to prevent the hub rotating. Use a hub nut socket and breaker bar; the nut is frequently staked or uses a prevailing torque design and must be replaced rather than reused.
- Remove the brake caliper and rotor and support the caliper on a hook — never allow it to hang on the brake hose. On driven axles, push the CV axle shaft inward to disengage it from the hub splines; if seized, use a hub puller rather than striking the shaft end.
- Remove the hub assembly mounting bolts from the rear of the knuckle (typically 3–4 bolts, M12–M14). The hub is frequently corroded onto the knuckle bore — use a hub puller or hydraulic press to extract it; never use heat near the ABS encoder ring or wheel speed sensor as both are damaged above 120°C.
- Clean the knuckle bore and mounting face thoroughly with a wire brush and suitable rust remover. Measure the knuckle bore diameter — a bore worn or corroded beyond OEM tolerance will not support the new hub correctly and will cause premature bearing failure through fretting corrosion.
- Verify the ABS sensor air gap after fitting the new hub — on applications with a separate external wheel speed sensor, confirm the sensor tip is within the specified clearance of the new encoder ring. An incorrect air gap will cause erratic ABS codes even with a new hub assembly.
- Install the new HUB SUB-ASSY (GEELY 4017019800), torque the hub mounting bolts to OEM specification in a star pattern, refit the CV shaft and hub centre nut, torque the hub nut to specification and stake or lock as required, refit the brake rotor and caliper, refit the wheel, and road-test — confirm the bearing noise is eliminated and no ABS warning lights are present after a drive above 30 km/h.
