Front Wheel Hub 47mm

OE Match 47mm front wheel hub for Porsche 911 models from 1968 to 1973 and Porsche 914-6 models from 1970 to 1972. Designed as a replacement for worn, damaged or corroded original hubs, this component provides the mounting point for the front wheel and brake disc while supporting the wheel bearing assembly.

Fits:

• Porsche 911 1965-1968 2.0L / 912 SWB (F)
• Porsche 911 1968-1973 2.2L / 2.4L / 2.7L RS LWB (F)
• Porsche 914 (1970-1976)

The front wheel hub is an essential component of the vehicle's front axle, allowing the wheel to rotate smoothly while maintaining secure attachment to the braking and suspension systems.

Manufactured as an OE-style replacement, this 47mm hub is ideal for classic Porsche maintenance, front axle repairs and restoration projects.

What Does the Front Wheel Hub Do?

The front wheel hub connects the road wheel and brake disc to the front axle through the wheel bearings.

It provides a secure mounting surface for the wheel while allowing the assembly to rotate smoothly around the stationary stub axle.

A correctly functioning hub is essential for maintaining wheel stability, consistent braking performance and predictable steering response.

Why Does It Fail?

Although front wheel hubs are designed for long service life, damage or wear can develop over time.

Common causes include:

• Worn or incorrectly adjusted wheel bearings
• Corrosion around bearing mounting surfaces
• Damage from potholes or heavy impacts
• Distortion caused by accident damage
• Wear or damage to wheel stud mounting holes
• Incorrect bearing installation
• Damage during previous repairs
• General age-related deterioration

A damaged hub can affect the correct seating of the wheel bearings, brake disc and wheel assembly.

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replacement should be considered if:

• The hub is cracked, bent or visibly damaged
• Bearing mounting surfaces are worn or scored
• Wheel stud holes are damaged
• Excessive corrosion is present
• The hub has been distorted by an impact
• The wheel or brake disc cannot be correctly mounted
• The original hub is unsuitable for reuse during a front axle rebuild

Excessive wheel movement, vibration or bearing noise may indicate a problem with the hub assembly, although these symptoms can also be caused by worn wheel bearings or other suspension components.

Important: Earlier Porsche 356C and early short-wheelbase 911/912 applications use the smaller 40mm front wheel hub, reference 90134106509. Confirm the existing hub specification before ordering.

Checks During Replacement

When replacing the front wheel hub, also inspect:

• Inner and outer front wheel bearings
• Wheel bearing races
• Front stub axle
• Wheel studs and retaining nuts
• Brake discs
• Bearing seals
• Hub grease cap
• Bearing retaining and adjustment hardware

Wheel bearings should be inspected, correctly lubricated and adjusted to the manufacturer's specifications during installation.

Porsche 911 / 914-6 Front Wheel Hubs & Bearing Components

The front wheel hub is a critical component of the classic Porsche front axle assembly. It supports the wheel and brake disc while working with the wheel bearings to provide smooth rotation and secure wheel mounting.

On older Porsche 911 and 914-6 models, wheel hubs can become damaged through corrosion, worn bearings, incorrect installation or heavy impacts. Damage to the hub or its bearing mounting surfaces can affect wheel rotation, braking consistency and steering stability.

OE Match 90134106510 provides a 47mm replacement front wheel hub for Porsche 911 models manufactured between 1968 and 1973 and Porsche 914-6 models from 1970 to 1972. It is particularly suitable for front suspension repairs, wheel bearing refurbishment and classic Porsche restoration projects.
