Parts for your 2007 Nissan Primera-Wheel hubs

2007 Nissan Primera wheel hubs — what they do and when to replace them

Based on the Nissan Primera P12 factory Service Manual (Front Axle “FAX” and Rear Axle “RAX” sections) and Nissan FAST parts catalogues used by dealers and aftermarket suppliers, the 2007 Nissan Primera is fitted with wheel hub assemblies front and rear. These assemblies incorporate the hub (with wheel studs) and a sealed bearing, and on ABS-equipped models an encoder/tone ring for the speed sensor. So yes — wheel hubs are relevant and used on this vehicle.

On a 2007 Primera, the wheel hubs do the heavy lifting: they centre and support the wheel, allow smooth rotation via the bearing, and keep ABS signals accurate. They’re engineered as sealed units or as a hub with a press-fit bearing, depending on the exact variant. Either way, they’re designed to be low-maintenance, but they do wear with kilometres, harsh roads, and water or grit ingress.

Typical signs the hubs or bearings are on the way out include a humming or droning that rises with road speed, a faint growl when cornering, vibration through the seat or steering, ABS warning lamps (from a damaged encoder), uneven tyre wear, or detectable play when the wheel is rocked at 12 and 6 o’clock. If any of that shows up, don’t let it linger — a failing bearing can heat up, damage the knuckle, and in bad cases affect braking performance.

Replacement differs front to rear and by brake setup. Many Primera front ends use a press-fit bearing with a separate hub that needs a workshop press and proper support tools
