Parts for your 2019 Mitsubishi Asx-Wheel hubs

2019 Mitsubishi ASX Wheel Hubs

Wheel hubs are absolutely fitted to the 2019 Mitsubishi ASX. Technical sources that confirm this include the Mitsubishi Motors Service/Workshop Manual for the ASX/Outlander Sport (MY2019) covering the Front and Rear Axle – Wheel Hub and Bearing sections, and the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue for GA-series ASX models that lists front hub and bearing assemblies and rear hub assemblies with integrated wheel speed (ABS) encoder rings. These factory documents describe the hub as a sealed unit that supports the wheel, houses the bearing, and interfaces with the brake disc and ABS sensor, making wheel hubs directly relevant to the model.

On the 2019 Mitsubishi ASX, the wheel hub assemblies do a heap of heavy lifting. Each hub keeps the wheel centred, allows it to spin smoothly via a sealed bearing, and provides the mounting face for the brake rotor and wheel studs. The front and rear hubs also work hand-in-hand with the ABS/ASC systems by carrying a magnetic encoder ring that the wheel speed sensor reads. If a hub’s bearing wears or the encoder gets damaged, you’ll often notice a humming growl that rises with road speed, a shudder through the steering, or an ABS light popping up.

Because the ASX uses sealed hub/bearing units, there’s no old-school bearing repack to do—maintenance is more about inspection and timely replacement. During regular servicing, it’s smart to:

• Listen for bearing noise on a road test and feel for play with the wheel off the ground.
• Check for roughness when spinning the wheel by hand, and look for uneven tyre wear that might hint at a tired hub.
• Inspect ABS wiring and sensor air gaps around the hub area after brake or suspension work.

When replacement’s needed, a quality hub assembly is the go. Replacing just the bearing isn’t typical on this model since the unit is designed as a sealed assembly. A proper press-out/press-in approach is required where applicable, and care should be taken not to damage the encoder ring. It’s also worth replacing the hub retaining hardware and wheel studs if they’re stretched or corroded, and torquing fasteners to factory specs with the vehicle supported correctly. After the job, a quick alignment check is a good idea if suspension components were disturbed, and always clear any stored ABS fault codes before handing back the keys. Look after the hubs and they’ll keep the ASX rolling quietly and safely for many more kilometres.

What are the signs a wheel hub is failing on a 2019 ASX?

Common signs include a droning or humming that changes with road speed, slight steering vibration, ABS or traction lights, and uneven tyre wear. On a hoist, a tech may feel free play when rocking the wheel at 12 and 6 o’clock or notice roughness when spinning by hand.

How often should the wheel hubs be replaced?

They’re not a scheduled replacement item. Many last well past 150,000 km, but rough roads, water ingress, or impact damage can shorten life. Replace on condition—when noise, play, or ABS issues are found during servicing or diagnosis.

Can the bearing be replaced separately from the hub?

For most 2019 ASX variants, the bearing is part of a sealed hub assembly. The typical repair is to fit a complete hub unit. This ensures correct preload, reliable ABS encoder operation, and saves time compared with pressing in individual bearings.
