Rear Wheel Bearing & Hub Assembly Set Compatible with 2011-2016 Mini

In this review the focus is a practical, budget-friendly replacement: a 2 piece rear wheel bearing and hub assembly set compatible with 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman and 2013-2016 Cooper Paceman. The bottom line is simple: this kit is for the home mechanic who needs a direct-fit, pre-assembled swap to regain smooth rear-wheel operation and reduce wheel noise. The review finds the set delivers straightforward installation, an OEM-style fit, and clear reference numbers for verification, though users should be aware that long-term durability reports are mixed.

Key Features

• Complete two-piece kit: Includes both rear driver and passenger side wheel bearing and hub assemblies so both sides can be serviced at once for consistent performance.
• Direct fit design: Pre-assembled components are made to replace the original units without modifications, saving time on installation and alignment effort.
• Clear reference numbers: Reference numbers 512543, BR930865 and HA590563 help confirm compatibility against the vehicle fitment chart.
• DIY support: The brand offers DIY video resources to guide installation, making the repair more accessible to competent home mechanics.
• Ball bearing construction: Uses a ball bearing type intended to restore smooth rolling and reduce drivetrain vibration when installed correctly.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for Mini Cooper Countryman and Cooper Paceman owners who want a direct replacement for failing rear wheel bearings and prefer to do the job themselves or have a trusted independent shop perform the swap. It suits drivers who need matching rear assemblies to eliminate uneven wear or noise between sides.

It is less appropriate for someone seeking a lifetime, upgraded performance bearing or for vehicles outside the listed year and model range. Those who require extended warranty-backed, high-mileage performance parts should consider OEM dealer options or branded premium upgrades.
