Audi Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly - Genuine Audi 4F0598611B

Product Information

A wheel hub serves as the central part of the wheel that connects to the axle and allows the wheel to rotate freely. The hub will sometimes contain or be pressed into the wheel bearings, which facilitate smooth wheel rotation and support the weight of the vehicle.

• Vibration or Wobbling: If the hub or bearings are worn out, you may feel vibrations or wobbling in the steering wheel or throughout the vehicle while driving, especially at higher speeds
• Abnormal Tire Wear: A damaged wheel hub can lead to misalignment, resulting in uneven tire wear. Inspecting the tires may reveal bald spots or excessive wear on one side
• Loose Wheel: If the wheel hub is severely damaged, it may cause the wheel to feel loose or wobbly when you shake it while the vehicle is parked. This is especially concerning if it happens after changing a tire

About Genuine Audi

The original parts used by Audi to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Audi” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Audi, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the Audi Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Audi are not necessarily manufactured by Audi. No cause for concern, as Audi designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Audi for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Audi parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of an Audi logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
