Product Information
One of the better-known problems on E chassis BMW's is the M12-sized wheel hardware is not up to snuff for extreme/hard use. Wheel stud failure is a known problem on BMW chassis cars using M12 hardware for track use where maintenance is not being considered. Wheel hardware should be replaced often and is considered a wear item for vehicles that see lots of track time.
BMW fixed the wheel hardware issue by upgrading to M14 sized hardware on the BMW F chassis cars. The size difference in wheel hardware adds 17% more material in the place that it is really needed. For the E9X M3 you can add M14 hardware by changing the wheel hubs to those from the F8X M3/M4.
The front wheel hub assemblies and rear wheel hubs are more or less plug and play onto the E9X M3. Included in this kit is the hardware needed for installation including the F8X M3 front wheel hub assemblies which require different mounting hardware than stock due to the thread pitch change on the wheel hub mounting flange itself. For this, we opted to use M12x1.25mm cap bolts that meet DIN912 standard (typically used for race cars), class 10.9 zinc plated washers, and Schnorr safety lock washers for the cap bolts.
Motorsport Hardware 90mm studs and nuts are also included in the package to round everything out. Please note that some brake rotors may require the lug holes to be opened up to accommodate the larger wheel hardware.
Wheel bearings support the vehicle's weight and reduce rotational friction, located within the wheel hub/spindle. European car manufacturers typically use three types of wheel bearings: unsealed, sealed press-in, and wheel bearing/hub assemblies.
Unsealed bearings, common in pre-1990 cars, require regular greasing, while sealed bearings, used from the 1990s onward, are maintenance-free and must be replaced when worn. The most modern approach integrates the wheel bearing into the hub assembly, simplifying replacement by bolting in a new unit.
Signs of failure include a grinding noise, which worsens over time. Diagnosing involves lifting the car to check for wheel play and noise. Replacement processes differ: unsealed bearings need cleaning and proper alignment, sealed bearings require pressing out, and hub assemblies are straightforward to unbolt and replace. Correct torque application is vital for all types to prevent premature failure.
Wheel Bearing Kit Failure Symptoms- Grinding or growling: A bad wheel bearing will first reveal itself by making a growling or grinding noise when unloaded, IE if turning right, the right side will make noise. Eventually, as it gets worse, so will the sound until it’s replaced
- Play in the wheel: With the wheel off the ground, you will detect play from a worn wheel bearing. This is because the internal bearings have worn away and are no longer perfectly tight.
- Vibration or wobble: While much less frequent, if a wheel bearing is very bad or has an excessive amount of play in it, it will cause issues with the vehicle's handling, including vibration or wobble noticeably through the steering wheel.
- Uneven Tire Wear: A faulty Wheel Bearing can adversely affect tire wear and cause uneven wear across the tire contact patch.
- ABS warning light: If you are chasing an ABS issue and you have sorted out the sensors, it’s not impossible that damage has occurred to the ABS tone ring inside of the wheel bearing. If you have a single corner fault but the ABS sensor checks out, replace the wheel bearing and in turn the tone ring.
