A Hub Is A Hub Of Course

So what is a hub? You have heard the term but were too embarrassed to ask anyone? Well you have come to the right place. Unfortunately you are going to feel a little silly because the hub is something you all see just about every day of your life but never notice.

The hub is the part of the wheel assembly that your lug nuts bolt onto. The hub is located between the brake rotors and the axle and has a hub bearing inside of it.

So what is the purpose of a hub? It basically needs to turn smoothly, without friction, so that it in turn will reduce the friction between the frame and the wheel and axle. They are all one nice, smooth-turning apparatus because of the hub.

So you see, the hub is indeed something you see each and every day. Now, how about replacing the hub; is it an easy job? The quick answer is no, it isn’t, if you don’t know what you are doing. If, however, you have the necessary tools and the willpower then it can be done at home and in so doing you will save yourself a ton of money in labor costs.

And where do you find used hubs if you want to do the job yourself? Any of the modern salvage yards will carry the hub you need or they can obtain one for you quickly at considerable savings.
