Genuine & OEM Maserati Wheel Bearings: Ghibli, Quattroporte & Levante
The wheel hub bearing sits at the intersection of a Maserati's performance and its ride quality — supporting the vehicle's weight while allowing the wheels to rotate with minimal friction at speed. Whether you drive a GranTurismo, a Quattroporte, a Ghibli or a Levante, these bearings take substantial lateral force and thermal stress.
How to Tell It Is the Bearing
A failing bearing gives a reliable signal: a drone that rises and falls with road speed and changes pitch or volume when the car is loaded through a corner — louder turning one way, quieter the other. Tyre noise stays constant through the turn. Later stages bring vibration through the steering wheel, a looseness in the handling, and ABS faults once play develops.
What to Know Before Ordering
- Most modern hubs are sealed assemblies. The bearing is not serviced separately — hub, bearing and often the ABS encoder ring come as one unit.
- ABS integration matters. An incorrect or damaged encoder ring produces ABS and stability faults that get misdiagnosed as sensor or module failures.
- Front and rear, left and right are frequently distinct part numbers on the same car.
- Don't defer it. A worn bearing develops play that affects alignment and tyre wear, and eventually threatens hub integrity.
Inferior bearings use lower-grade steel and substandard seals, leading to premature failure. We supply genuine assemblies and premium OEM replacements from SKF and FAG, guaranteeing correct integration with the braking and traction control systems.

- Genuine Parts: These are the exact components installed at the factory, arriving in the original vehicle manufacturer’s branded packaging (e.g., Porsche or BMW).
- OEM Parts: These are produced by the same manufacturers that supply the car brands (e.g., Bosch, Brembo, Lemförder) but are sold in the supplier’s own packaging, often at a more competitive price.
- Aftermarket Parts: These are third-party components designed to meet or exceed original specifications.
