Gen 1
A sealed double-row ball bearing with no flange. It presses into the hub carrier and carries the hub separately. Common on older European platforms and on many rear axles. Cheapest to ship, but requires a press to fit.

Product range
Three generations, one source
Bare bearings, flanged bearings and complete bolt-on hub units. Which one you need is decided by the platform, not by price.
Gen 2
The bearing carries an integrated flange for the wheel mounting. Fewer parts to press, faster fitting, and the preload is set at our partner's assembly line rather than in the workshop. Most European front axles built after roughly 2005 use this design.

Gen 3
A complete hub unit: bearing, wheel flange and inner flange in one bolt-on assembly, usually with an integrated ABS magnetic encoder ring. Bolts straight to the strut. No press work at all, which is why workshops prefer it and why encoder quality decides whether the ABS light comes on.

Material
Forged from the steel that supplies SKF and FAG
Races are forged from Xingcheng Special Steel (GB/T699-2015 55# forging steel) — the same mill that supplies SKF, FAG and NSK. Inconsistent steel is the single most common reason a hub bearing spalls in month six rather than year six, so this is the first thing worth checking in any supplier's bill of materials.
Rolling elements
G10-grade balls from Japan
Steel balls are G10 grade from Tsubaki Nakajima, Japan. Ball grade governs how evenly load spreads across the raceway; loose tolerances concentrate load and brinell the race under shock.
Lubrication
Grease rated for the heat next to a brake disc
KYODO YUSHI AF-1, Japan. Hub bearing grease has to hold position behind the seal for the life of the unit while sitting next to a hot disc. Cheap lithium grease migrates, the seal dries, and contamination follows.

How to Tell a Wheel Hub Bearing Is Failing
Humming that changes with steering load, play at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions, and an ABS light that comes and goes. What each symptom actually means.
