Front Wheel Hub Rubber Cap

The OE Match Front Wheel Hub Rubber Cap is a replacement protective component for Porsche 356 models manufactured between 1950 and 1959.

Fits:

• Porsche 356 1950-55
• Porsche 356A 1955-59

Designed to fit the corresponding front wheel hub assembly, this rubber cap helps protect internal components from dirt, moisture and road contamination.

Over time, original rubber caps can harden, crack or become damaged, making replacement important during wheel bearing maintenance or classic Porsche restoration.

What Does It Do?

The rubber cap provides a protective covering for the corresponding front wheel hub opening, helping prevent contamination of the hub and bearing assembly.

Why Does It Fail?

Common causes include:

• Age-related rubber deterioration
• Cracking from temperature changes
• Exposure to dirt and moisture
• Damage during hub servicing
• Loss of flexibility over time

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replace the cap if it becomes cracked, brittle, distorted or missing.

Replacement is also recommended during front wheel bearing servicing or suspension restoration.

Checks & Diagnosis

Inspect the cap for splits, damage or poor fitment. Check the surrounding hub assembly for contamination, corrosion or signs of bearing wear.

Installation Notes

Clean the hub opening before fitting the replacement. Ensure the rubber cap is correctly seated and securely positioned.
