Genuine BMW X5 X6 Wheel Hub 31226867809 2007-2019

A: Wheel hubs are typically the same part for both left and right sides of the front axle on most BMW models, as the hub itself is symmetrical. However, this depends on your specific BMW model and drive configuration. Rear hubs on some models may be side-specific. To confirm whether this part number applies to both sides or just one specific side for your vehicle, verify using your complete VIN with your BMW dealer or parts specialist. If both sides are showing wear symptoms, it is strongly recommended to replace both simultaneously since they have the same mileage and wear history, preventing a second repair shortly after the first.

A: The answer depends on your specific BMW model and the exact specification of part number 31226867809. Some BMW hub assemblies come as a complete unit with the wheel bearing already pressed in, while others are supplied as the hub only requiring separate bearing installation. For most modern BMW models covered by this part number, the hub typically comes as an integrated assembly with the bearing pre-installed, making replacement more straightforward. However, you should verify this with your seller before purchasing. If the bearing must be pressed in separately, this requires a hydraulic press and proper tooling, making professional installation essential. Your BMW dealer or parts specialist can confirm the exact specification for your vehicle's requirements.

A: When replacing a wheel hub, several related components should be inspected and potentially replaced simultaneously for complete reliability. The axle nut is a self-locking nut that must always be replaced with a new one, as reusing a stretched self-locking nut is unsafe. The ABS/wheel speed sensor should be inspected for damage and replaced if the tip is corroded or the wiring is cracked. The CV axle shaft should be carefully inspected for torn boots, loose joints, or wear while it's easily accessible. The brake rotor should be measured for thickness and replaced if at minimum thickness or showing deep scoring. Wheel alignment should always be performed after hub replacement since the geometry has been disturbed. If mileage is high, consider replacing the hub on the opposite side simultaneously since it has identical wear history.
