Parts for your 2008 Ford Falcon-Wheel hubs

2008 Ford Falcon wheel hubs

Based on Ford workshop literature for the late BF MkII and launch-year FG series (2008), plus major aftermarket catalogues that list complete front hub-and-bearing units (five-stud with ABS tone rings), the 2008 Ford Falcon is definitely fitted with wheel hubs. On most sedans and XR variants, they’re sealed, bolt-on hub assemblies at the front, with the rear arrangement varying by suspension type but still relying on a hub/bearing unit.

On a 2008 Falcon, the wheel hub sits at the centre of each wheel, locating the brake rotor and providing the mounting face and studs for the wheel. Inside the hub is a sealed bearing that carries the vehicle’s weight and lets the wheel spin smoothly. Many hubs also integrate the ABS tone ring, so a tired hub can upset both ride quality and stability control systems.

• Holds the wheel true and supports vehicle load
• Provides a precise mounting face for the brake disc
• Houses the sealed bearing and, on many variants, the ABS tone ring
• Maintains alignment and keeps tyre wear even when in good condition

Hubs on the Falcon are designed as sealed units, so there’s no greasing or bearing adjustment during a routine service. Instead, the smart play is regular inspection. At each service, a tech should spin and rock each wheel to feel for roughness or play, check for any ABS fault codes, and look for rotor runout caused by a fatigued hub.

• Common warning signs: a humming or growling that changes with speed, ABS or stability lights flickering, steering shimmy, uneven tyre wear, or heat around the hub after a drive
• There’s no fixed replacement interval
