Hearing a hum or growl from the back of the car? If a worn rear wheel bearing is the cause, the Schaeffler Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly 800179D replaces it. This Generation 2 rear hub assembly is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1999-2011 Volkswagen Jetta, 1998-2007 Volkswagen Golf and 1998-2011 Volkswagen Beetle. It also fits select Audi and SEAT models.
Schaeffler builds this integrated rear assembly with advanced technology and high-quality materials. It supports the wheel and lets it turn smoothly, and it is designed to help keep the tire in steady contact with the road on the highway or on city streets.
- Maximum precision: an integrated hub assembly designed for smooth operation and long-term performance.
- Optimized performance: tailored to the demands of different vehicles to support overall drive dynamics and efficiency.
- Quiet running: engineered to minimize noise and vibration for a quieter, more comfortable ride.
- Robust sealing: the seal design is intended to keep water and dirt out for extended durability.
Schaeffler produces each assembly under stringent quality controls. Signs a rear wheel bearing and hub may need replacing include a humming, growling or grinding noise that changes with road speed, or play and looseness at the wheel. Other components can make similar noises, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
