2006 Nissan Primera (P12) Wheel Hubs — What They Do and When to Replace

Wheel hubs are absolutely used on the 2006 Nissan Primera (P12). Technical literature such as the Nissan Primera P12 service manual (Front Axle and Rear Suspension sections), Nissan FAST/OEM parts catalogues, and major bearing suppliers’ catalogues (SKF, NTN-SNR, Timken) all list front and rear hub assemblies for this model. The front end uses a unitised hub-and-bearing assembly bolted to the steering knuckle, and the rear is a hub assembly mounted to the trailing arm, with an ABS encoder and a separate sensor.

On this Primera, the wheel hub’s job is to secure the wheel to the car via the wheel studs, house the sealed bearing for smooth rotation, and provide an encoder surface for ABS/vehicle stability systems. It’s a quiet achiever: when healthy, it keeps the ride smooth, tyre wear even, and braking electronics happy. Because the bearings are sealed, there’s no routine greasing—maintenance is mainly inspection and correct fitment practices.

During regular servicing, a technician will check for bearing noise and play, inspect ABS wiring near the hub, and make sure wheel nuts are torqued correctly. High-pressure washing aimed at the hub face or sensor plug is best avoided. While there’s no set replacement interval, hubs commonly last well past 100,000 km
