Front Wheel Bearing & Hub Assembly Compatible with 2005-2013 Volvo

In this review of the Front Wheel Bearing & Hub Assembly, the bottom line is straightforward: this is a practical OE replacement for owners of compatible Volvo C30, C70, S40 and V50 models who want a direct-fit, vehicle-specific hub with an integrated ABS sensor. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops that value an assembly that often installs faster than pressed-in bearings and aims to restore a quiet, smooth ride. The review focuses on fit, build details and known durability tradeoffs so a buyer can decide if the part meets their expectations.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement to match original mounting points and save installation time compared with separate bearing and hub jobs.
• Integrated ABS sensor: The built-in ABS sensor eliminates splicing or external sensors and simplifies reconnection to the vehicle's system.
• Vehicle specific fitment: Fitment covers front driver and passenger sides for select 2005-2013 Volvo models, reducing the chance of ordering the wrong unit when fitment is checked.
• Concrete sizing: Includes clear dimensional details like a 108 mm bolt circle diameter and 36 splines to help verify fit before purchase.
• OE reference compatibility: Matches multiple OE reference numbers so it is compatible with many original applications and aftermarket equivalents.

Who It's For

This assembly is best for Volvo owners with a 2005-2011 S40 or V50, 2006-2013 C70, or 2008-2013 C30 who need a straightforward, replace-the-whole-unit solution and want to avoid pressing bearings. It is also for independent mechanics and home DIYers comfortable swapping hubs and reconnecting an ABS plug.

Buyers who require factory-lifetime durability or those who prefer only OEM-branded parts for warranty reasons should compare options; customer reports show generally good fit and performance but mixed long-term durability for some units, so fleet users or high-mileage drivers may want to monitor longevity closely.

Pros & Cons

• Many customers report improved ride smoothness and notably quiet operation after replacement.
• Integrated ABS sensor and complete assembly simplify the repair compared with separate components.

Specifications
