Probox Old Model Wheel Hub Bearing

Toyota Probox Wheel Hub Bearing (Old Model)

Genuine Ex-Japan wheel hub bearing assembly for the 1st generation Toyota Probox. Ensures silent operation and smooth wheel rotation for heavy-duty work.

• Part & Condition: Original Ex-Japan Wheel Hub Bearing Unit. Sourced from low-mileage vehicles in Japan, these bearings are built to last much longer than generic “new” replacements. They come pre-packed with high-grade Japanese lithium grease for maximum heat resistance.

• Performance: Reduces rolling friction to near-zero, allowing your Probox to coast smoothly. It eliminates the “humming” or “grinding” noise that occurs when bearings wear out.

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for the “Old Model” Probox (XP50 series, 2002–2014), including models like NCP50, NCP51, and NCP58.

• Importance: The wheel hub bearing is what holds your wheel to the car while allowing it to spin. A failure here isn’t just a noise issue; it’s a major mechanical risk that can lead to the wheel locking up or detaching.

Reasons Why This Hub Bearing Is Important

1. Silent Driving Experience: It eliminates that loud, annoying “drone” or “grinding” noise that gets louder as you increase speed, making your cabin much quieter.

2. Wheel Security: The hub bearing is the primary structural link between your wheel and the suspension. Keeping it in top condition ensures your wheel stays safely attached to the vehicle.

3. Fuel Efficiency: A worn bearing creates “drag” (friction). By replacing it with a smooth Ex-Japan unit, the engine doesn’t have to work as hard to turn the wheels, saving you money at the pump.

4. Brake Health: A loose or “wobbly” bearing causes the brake rotor to misalign. This leads to uneven brake pad wear and a “pulsing” feeling in the brake pedal.

5. Drivetrain Protection: If a bearing is stiff, it puts extra stress on your drive shafts and CV joints. Replacing the bearing early prevents a chain reaction of expensive repairs to your transmission system.
