Front wheel hub assembly
For driven applications, identify the axle position and spline count beside the flange drawing.

WJB Bearings wheel hub sourcing
Send a front wheel hub and bearing assembly reference. We coordinate supplier quotes around the OE number, hub flange dimensions, ABS encoder and parts included in the box.
Three ways to describe the hub
Use the closest assembly type and list any hardware or sensor supplied separately.
Rear wheel hub unit
Record the flange pilot and mounting pattern before comparing supplier cross references.

ABS wheel hub assembly
Specify the ABS encoder ring type and whether the wheel speed sensor or lead belongs in the assembly.
Find catalog referencesWhat defines a match?
Track unresolved inputs next to the part reference so each supplier quotes the same request.
| Input | What to send |
|---|---|
| Application | OE cross reference, VIN or make/model/year, axle position and drivetrain. |
| Hub flange | Drawing revision, flange diameter and pilot in mm, stud pattern and spline count if driven. |
| Input | What to send |
|---|---|
| ABS encoder ring | Encoder type, pole count if specified, and which face meets the sensor. |
| Wheel speed sensor | Connector keying, lead routing and whether the sensor comes with the hub. |
| Input | What to send |
|---|---|
| Bearing and seals | For a separate bearing, provide bore, OD and width in mm, seal lip orientation, and the specified bearing preload method. |
| Hardware | Separate the hub, knuckle, retaining hardware and axle nut in the parts list so the quote matches the intended installation. |
From brief to shipment
Clarify
Record the OE revision, axle and ABS encoder ring before requesting bids.
Compare
Bring per-SKU minimums, package contents and Incoterms onto the same quote sheet.
Verify
Agree who checks the sample flange, sensor lead and bearing seals against the drawing.
Coordinate
Match packing list line items to the approved references and hand the file to the buyer's logistics team.
Where the fitment record matters
Evidence before commitment
Supplier records
Request a dated drawing with the supplier part number and the OE cross reference it covers.
Sample check
Compare pilot and flange dimensions in mm with the drawing and keep the recorded measurements under the sample ID.
Document scope
Check the issuing body, named site and scope of any supplier system certificate.
Third-party report
Ask the selected inspector to attach photos and conditions to any agreed runout or packaging check.
Buyer approval
Keep the accepted fitment reference and unresolved deviations on the same review record.
Packing handoff
Have the supplier identify carton contents, inner protection and lot labels before mixed-container loading.
Resolve the exceptions before ordering
Fitment and service
Complete hub or serviceable bearing?
An integrated unit limits on-vehicle work on bearing preload and seal assembly. A serviceable bearing keeps component-level repair available where the platform allows it and where the installer can follow the specified pressing and preload procedure.
Can the same OE cross reference cover two encoder types?
Treat each cross reference as a lead. Where catalog entries conflict, compare the sensor interface and encoder orientation against the application drawing before accepting the match.
Quotes and ordering
Stock program or custom configuration?
A stock quote may simplify replenishment if the supplier confirms the exact configuration and quantity. A custom package or variant needs its own sample approval, minimum and lead-time confirmation.
One supplier or several?
A single supplier simplifies revision control. Several suppliers can cover more axle positions, but the buyer needs a shared cross-reference sheet, lot rules and matched packaging labels.
Turn your parts list into a sourcing brief
Start with an OE number and a destination port. Flag unconfirmed fitment fields so they stay visible in each quote.
