Rear Hub Assembly

[saleen836]

Have a friend here in the UK that has just picked up a 2010 GT (with 4.6 motor) it needs a driver side rear hub assembly but struggling to find a replacement, anyone know where one can be sourced new or used?

Did Ford change the hub assembly when they did the facelift on the S197 or will a hub from a 05-09 model be the same part?

Thanks

Hub or Hub Bearing. That vehicle should have a Solid Axle that the Hub is part of.

Not sure what you mean by hub assembly??? All you have back there is an axle, bearing and seal, and then the brakes. They are all separate components. Unless your looking for a whole rear end and differential?

This is when I had to R&R a bent axle.



Bearing and seal.


and axle.



What is it exactly that you are looking for?

Previous owner of the car for some reason has drilled out one of the wheel bolts and elongated the hole, only reason we can think of for doing so is they messed up the thread while attempting to remove a locking wheel nut and got carried away replacing it, so I guess the part circled in your photo?

Looking on the following website it looks like we need #3 axle shaft assembly

Then you require a new or junkyard axle. Very simple to swap out.

Also maybe a machine shop can weld and re-drill that hogged out hole?

FYI: I usually order from Rockauto, Tascaparts, Summit to Germany. Shipping fees are often very different.
I bought a full differential rebuild kit from Summit last time. I guess you need new studs and bearings in addition.

I would try the machine shop option first.

Thanks one and all, now I know what part is required I have found them on RockAuto who ship to the UK for a decent postage cost

Do note that the axles have different length (right vs left), so make sure you get the right one. RockAuto seems to do a decent job calling out the Left vs Rear for an axle, but just wanting to advertise it more clearly.

Cool. Have you checked out the bearing and seal? I would at least replace the seal while I was in there.

For axle seals I've pretty much gone by "if it's not leaking and looks good, leave it alone." If you're confident you didn't damage it removing the axle, and it looks good and hasn't leaked, leave it be. Put things back together and run a chunk of miles on it and check for a leak. A bad leak will make itself known quick. A smaller one might not show up for years. If it's fine...it's fine.

Of course, that was my mantra before I bought the right tooling for seating seals and such. I'll be replacing mine this go-around, but I am rebuilding the whole axle assembly so that's a different situation.
