Which program are you buying for?

Distributors

Map each OE cross reference to one sellable SKU and record which fasteners are included. Compare a single-source assortment with split sourcing using the same carton and traceability requirements.

Repair networks

Check wheel position, hub flange diameter, ABS encoder orientation and seal lip scope. Compare a full hub replacement against a serviceable bearing where the vehicle repair procedure permits both.

Fleet buyers

Break down the fleet by axle and wheel position. A stock offer depends on the supplier confirming the exact SKU and lot. A custom pack can group service hardware if sample and pack acceptance are agreed.

Project teams

Link each model revision to the drawing, sample and report. Request bearing bore, OD and width in mm and the bearing preload or installation specification where applicable.

Decisions to make before sending an order

How do I compare wheel options?

Put pitch circle diameter (PCD), wheel offset (ET), center bore, rim diameter and width, finish and load rating on the same sheet. Compare forged and cast options at the same fitment and load requirement, then compare tooling, sample scope and order quantity.

What belongs in a tire brief?

Enter size, load index, speed rating, duty cycle, tread pattern, quantity and destination. For specialty tires add casing and terrain. Compare rolling resistance alongside wet grip and tread life under a stated test method and duty profile.

What should a hub sample check record?

Use the buyer-approved drawing. Identify the sample and revision, fixture and datum, gauge resolution in mm, radial and lateral runout method, ABS encoder response criteria and the measured results. Use the agreed limits for disposition.

Can I reuse evidence from a similar SKU?

Ask the issuer to identify the model family, revision, market and method. Request written scope confirmation when dimensions, encoder or material change. The buyer records any accepted exception on the order.
