PTC Spindle Hub Assembly Kit Program
PTC Spindle Hub Kits Solve Common OE Failures
Many late model import vehicles use a spindle hub that presses into a separate wheel bearing, instead of a unitized hub assembly. Unfortunately, these setups often experience failure—especially when the bearing race seizes to the spindle hub. This leads to over a 30% OE failure rate and can cause damage during replacement.
The OE Problem
When the bearing partially seizes, it can score the spindle shaft and affect the performance of the new bearing. In most cases, the hub and bearing can’t be separated without damage, requiring both to be replaced—even if only one failed.
The PTC Solution
