513288 Front or Rear Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly - Durable Fit for GM

In this review of the 513288 wheel bearing and hub assembly, the bottom line is simple: it is a straightforward, reliable replacement for owners of compatible GM and related vehicles who need a direct-fit hub with ABS readiness. The reviewer found it best for DIY mechanics and independent shops replacing front or rear hubs on models like the Equinox, Terrain, Malibu, Impala and Cadillac XTS, because the part matches OE-style mounting (three flange bolts and five wheel studs) and is supplied as a complete bearing and hub assembly, reducing install time and uncertainty.

Key Features

• Direct compatibility: Covers a wide list of GM and related models, so owners can replace a failed hub without hunting for multiple part numbers.
• Complete assembly: Supplied as a brand new wheel bearing and hub assembly so bearings, seals and hub are ready to install and save time during a roadside or shop repair.
• ABS ready: Includes ABS system compatibility which preserves wheel speed sensor function and avoids additional sensor work when swapping the hub.
• Standard fitment: Three flange bolt holes and five wheel studs match OE mounting patterns for the listed vehicles to simplify alignment and torque procedures.
• Quality control: Built under ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified processes with professional testing, offering reassurance about manufacturing consistency.

Who It's For

The 513288 hub assembly is intended for owners of 2010-2017 Chevy Equinox, 2010-2017 GMC Terrain, 2013-2017 Cadillac XTS, 2013-2015 Malibu, 2014-2017 Impala, and the other listed GM models who want a like-for-like replacement that includes the bearing and hub preassembled. It suits DIYers comfortable with wheel removal and torque specs, and independent shops looking to complete a hub job quickly.

It is less appropriate for those who need a hub with a different flange or stud count, for rare model years not listed, or for drivers seeking a performance-graded aftermarket hub with custom bearings; this is a functional OE-style replacement rather than a performance upgrade.
