Land Rover Wheel Hub - Genuine Land Rover LR081538

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 Land Rover

The same parts Land Rover used to build your vehicle are sold as replacement parts under the “Genuine Land Rover” brand. These are manufactured under Land Rover’s direction, guaranteeing top quality. As you’d expect, they also carry a premium price and are sold exclusively through the Land Rover dealership network.

Genuine Land Rover parts trace their origins back to the earliest days of the brand in 1948, when Rover engineers built the first Series I using robust, serviceable components designed for durability in harsh environments. Over the decades, Land Rover established partnerships with leading European suppliers to ensure consistent quality and performance. This tradition continues today, with Genuine Land Rover parts representing the official replacement components engineered to the same specifications as those used on the production line.

What many owners don’t realize is that Land Rover doesn’t manufacture most of these parts themselves. Instead, they design the components, contract trusted suppliers to produce them, and then verify the quality. Many of these suppliers have partnered with Land Rover for decades. In the industry, they’re known as OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers)—brands you probably recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. It’s not unusual to open a Genuine Land Rover box and find one of these brands inside—just re-badged with a Land Rover logo.

On our site, look for OE tags on product pages to quickly spot parts that come straight from the original manufacturers. Choosing these can save you a significant amount compared to buying them in Genuine packaging. For more details on how to identify OE and OEM parts, check out our OE Academy.
