What is this part called?
1970-79 Bay Window Rear Wheel Hub, Each
What does this part do on a VW?
This rear wheel hub forms a vital part of the rear axle assembly, providing the mounting point for the rear brake drum and wheel while transmitting drive from the stub axle to the rear wheels. The internally splined hub fits onto the rear stub axle and ensures reliable power transfer, correct wheel alignment and safe operation of the rear braking system.
Over time, the internal splines can wear due to age, high mileage or incorrect axle nut torque, resulting in excessive movement or complete loss of drive. Replacing a worn hub restores the correct fit between the stub axle and brake drum, ensuring dependable performance and long-term reliability. Manufactured to OE specifications, this replacement hub provides an excellent solution for maintenance, restoration and repair projects.
