Product Overview

The wheel hub, OEM number 31206874862, is the front hub with bearing fitted to the BMW X3 (F25), rear-wheel-drive variants without electronic controlled suspension, model years 2015-2017. Since this hub is specific to RWD configuration on this generation of X3, it's worth stocking separately from the AWD-specific hub used on xDrive variants of the same platform.

Worn units typically show up as a squeaking or grinding noise from the wheel, vibration felt through the steering wheel, or looseness felt when rocking the wheel by hand. GSK Auto manufactures this hub to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm fitment before shipping.

(Confirm against your VIN or chassis code before ordering - this hub is specific to RWD X3 models without electronic controlled suspension, so it's worth checking drivetrain and suspension configuration before ordering at volume.)

What Is a Wheel Hub?

Function: The wheel hub with bearing supports the wheel, allows it to rotate freely with minimal friction, and carries the vehicle's weight at that corner while also serving as the mounting point for the brake disc and wheel.

Working Principle: The bearing is integrated into the hub assembly, so sealed bearing races allow smooth rotation under load while resisting both radial and axial forces from cornering, braking, and road impacts, keeping the wheel running true.

Importance: On an SUV platform like the X3, the front hub has to hold tight tolerances under vehicle weight while delivering the steering precision expected of the segment.

Common Failures & Signs: Bearing wear causing a squeaking or grinding noise from the wheel. Vibration felt through the steering wheel, particularly at highway speeds. Looseness or play felt when the wheel is rocked by hand. Uneven tire wear linked to bearing play affecting wheel alignment.
