How To Jude The Hub Assembly Is Damaged And Recognize It Correctly

The hub assembly is responsible for fitting the wheel to the car and is a pre-assembled unit with precision bearings, seals, and sensors. Hub assemblies, also known as hub bearings, hub assemblies, hub units, or hub and bearing assemblies, are an important part of the steering system and contribute to the safe steering and handling of the vehicle.

Where is it located?

On each wheel, you'll find the hub assembly between the drive shaft and the brake drum or disc. On the disc side, the wheel is attached to the bolts of the hub assembly. On the drive shaft side, the hub assembly is mounted to the knuckle with a bolt-on or press-fit assembly.

What does the hub assembly do?

First and foremost, the hub assembly secures your wheels to your vehicle and allows them to turn freely, enabling you to steer safely.

Hub assemblies are also important for anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and traction control systems (TCS). In addition to bearings, the hub assembly also contains the wheel speed sensors that control the vehicle's ABS braking system. Sensors constantly transmit the turning speed of each wheel to the ABS control system. In an emergency braking situation, the system uses this information to determine whether anti-lock braking is required.

Your vehicle's traction control system also operates using ABS wheel sensors. As an extension of the anti-lock braking system, the TCS system and the ABS system work together to help you maintain control of your car. If this sensor fails, it could damage your antilock brakes and traction control systems.
