Parts for your 2017 Honda Accord-Wheel hubs

2017 Honda Accord wheel hubs — what they do and when to replace

Based on technical sources — including the Honda Accord (9th Gen, 2013–2017) Service Manual sections covering Front Hub/Knuckle and Rear Hub Unit, plus the Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue for the 2017 model — wheel hubs are absolutely fitted to the 2017 Honda Accord. The front end uses a hub mated to a press‑in double‑row bearing in the steering knuckle, while the rear uses a bolt‑on hub assembly with the bearing and ABS tone ring integrated. So, “wheel hubs” are relevant to this model on all four corners.

The wheel hub is the bit that the wheel bolts to via the studs, keeping the wheel and tyre rotating smoothly around the bearing centreline. It also provides the mounting face for the brake rotor and, on ABS-equipped cars like the Accord, works with the encoder/tone ring to give accurate wheel speed signals. If the hub or its bearing is worn, expect humming or growling that changes with road speed, faint vibration through the cabin, ABS lights, or free play when the wheel is rocked at 12 and 6 o’clock.

There’s no scheduled replacement interval because the hub and bearing are sealed units, but regular servicing should include basic checks: listen for rumble on a road test, feel for roughness while spinning a raised wheel, and check for play. Uneven tyre wear or a hot hub after a drive can also point to trouble.

When it’s time to replace, the rear hub assembly on the 2017 Accord unbolts from the trailing arm, making it a straightforward swap. The front typically needs the bearing pressed in/out of the knuckle with the hub transferred, so a quality press and proper supports are essential to avoid damaging the new bearing. It’s smart practice to use a new axle nut, follow Honda torque specs, and keep the ABS sensor and magnetic encoder clean and undamaged. After any hub work, a wheel alignment check and a quick ABS scan are worthwhile to make sure everything’s happy. Choosing reputable hub/bearing brands will help the assembly run quiet for hundreds of thousands of kilometres.

• Tell‑tales owners notice: speed‑dependent hum, ABS warning, or looseness at the wheel.
• Service tips: sealed bearings (no greasing), avoid impacts on studs/encoder, torque fasteners correctly.
