Parts for your 2006 Toyota Crown-Wheel hubs

2006 Toyota Crown wheel hubs — what they do and how to look after them

Wheel hubs are absolutely fitted to the 2006 Toyota Crown (S180 series). Technical references including the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalogue for GRS18x/UZS186 models and the Toyota Crown S180 Chassis & Body Repair Manual list “Front Axle Hub Sub-Assembly” and “Rear Axle Hub and Bearing,” with ABS-related components noted. Toyota’s service information (TIS) also details inspection and replacement procedures for these sealed hub units. So wheel-hubs are directly relevant on this vehicle.

On this Crown, the hub assemblies secure the wheels to the knuckle (front) and to the axle shaft/knuckle (rear on RWD models), keep the wheel rotating smoothly via a sealed bearing, and provide the mounting face for the brake disc. They also carry the encoder/tone ring for the ABS and stability control systems. Being sealed, the bearings inside aren’t serviceable or greaseable
