Help keep the rear wheels turning smoothly with the Mevotech BXT Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly, part number H512012. This rear hub unit mounts the wheel and houses the bearing that lets it rotate with low friction. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, 1998-2005 Volkswagen Golf and 1998-2011 Volkswagen Beetle, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Mevotech engineers the assembly in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at durability and performance. A worn rear bearing may cause a humming or grinding noise that rises with road speed, or play in the wheel. If the bearing is the cause, replacing the hub assembly replaces it along with the hub. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque procedure.
