Replace a worn front wheel bearing and hub with the Schaeffler Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly Repair Kit WB61598K, a front wheel bearing and hub kit that is a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3, 2014-2018 Mazda 3 Sport and 2016-2021 Mazda CX-3. Schaeffler lists this unit as a Generation 3 wheel set for the front position on these applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The hub gives the wheel its mounting point, and the bearing inside lets the wheel rotate with low friction while helping support the vehicle at that corner. When a bearing wears, it can produce a humming, growling or grinding noise that changes with road speed, or allow play in the wheel. If a failed front bearing is the cause, this kit replaces it.
