MOOG Wheel Hub Assembly 513296 Alloy Steel Bearing for Nissan Altima

Description

Product Overview

The MOOG 513296 wheel hub assembly combines robust alloy steel construction with precision‑engineered roller bearings to create a component that meets the demanding standards of modern Nissan vehicles. Every hub is machined to exact tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit for the wheel studs and bearing housings of 2007‑2021 Nissan Altima, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, and other compatible models. The alloy steel material provides exceptional strength while resisting corrosion, and the roller bearing design delivers smooth rotation with minimal friction.

In addition to its core structural benefits, the hub features a specially designed raceway that distributes load evenly across the bearing surfaces. This advanced geometry reduces heat buildup during prolonged driving, which in turn prolongs the service life of both the hub and the surrounding suspension components. The hub is pre‑lubricated with high‑performance grease, eliminating the need for additional lubrication during installation and ensuring immediate, reliable operation.

Technical specifications include a bearing number of 513296, a compact size of 6 × 4.38 × 5.88 inches, and a weight of 7.11 pounds. The hub is compatible with a wide range of Nissan powertrains and is engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards for torque, preload, and durability. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing by MOOG engineers, guaranteeing that the product performs consistently across a variety of driving conditions, from city commuting to high‑speed highway travel.

Usage

This hub assembly is ideal for both professional automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts who demand a reliable replacement part for their Nissan vehicles. Whether you are performing routine maintenance, addressing a worn‑out hub, or upgrading to improve handling characteristics, the MOOG hub provides a straightforward installation process that fits seamlessly into standard service procedures.

The hub excels in environments where durability and performance are critical. It is particularly well‑suited for drivers who frequently encounter rough road surfaces, heavy loads, or aggressive driving styles. The rust‑protected wheel studs and hardened exterior surface help prevent corrosion and damage, ensuring that the hub remains secure even after repeated removal and re‑installation.

Because the hub is pre‑lubricated and engineered for a precise factory preload, it reduces the need for additional adjustments after installation. This translates to less downtime in the shop and a quicker return to the road for the vehicle owner. The hub’s compatibility with a broad range of Nissan models also means that fleet operators can standardize on a single part, simplifying inventory management and reducing overall maintenance costs.
