2009 Toyota Hilux Surf wheel hubs: what they do and how to look after them

Based on Toyota’s factory repair information for the 215‑series Hilux Surf (Japan‑market equivalent of the N210 4Runner, through 2009) and the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalogue/New Car Features documents, this model uses conventional wheel hubs front and rear. The front end runs an independent suspension with a pressed‑in hub and bearing in the steering knuckle, and an ADD (Automatic Disconnecting Differential) system rather than manual free‑wheeling hubs. So yes—wheel hubs are very much relevant on a 2009 Toyota Hilux Surf.

On a 2009 Hilux Surf, the wheel hubs are the solid mounting point for each wheel and the path that transmits load and drive. Up front, the hub flange (with the wheel studs) is pressed into a sealed, double‑row bearing that sits in the steering knuckle. That setup carries vehicle weight, keeps the wheel turning true, and provides a home for the ABS encoder. At the rear, the hub and bearing are pressed onto the live axle shaft, again supporting the wheel and sealing in the diff oil. There are no manual locking hubs on this model
