VW Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly - Genuine VW 7B0407621B

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 VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW 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 VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly 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.
