2019 Toyota Vitz/Yaris Wheel Hubs

Wheel hubs are absolutely used on the 2019 Toyota Vitz/Yaris. This is confirmed by Toyota’s technical literature, including the Toyota Service Information (TIS) Repair Manual sections titled Front Axle Hub and Rear Axle Hub and Bearing, and the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC), which lists the hub sub-assembly for the front and the rear axle hub and bearing assembly for this model range (KSP/NCP/NSP130 series). These sources make it clear the hubs are fitted and serviceable components on the vehicle.

On the 2019 Vitz/Yaris, the wheel hub is the solid foundation that the wheel bolts to. It centres the wheel via the hub flange and studs, supports the vehicle’s weight through a sealed double‑row bearing, and—on ABS models—houses a tone ring for wheel speed sensing. Up front, the bearing is press‑fitted into the steering knuckle with the hub stub pressed through it. At the rear, most trims use a bolt‑on hub and bearing unit (drum or disc variants), making removal a tidy unbolt-and-replace job.

There’s no periodic greasing because the bearings are sealed for life. Servicing is mostly about inspection and correct torque. During a service, a good workshop will check for play by rocking the wheel at 12 and 6 o’clock, listen for a growl or rumble that changes with road speed, look for ABS warning lights, and feel for heat after a road test. Any of these can point to a tired hub or bearing.

Replacement up front generally needs a press, new snap ring, and a new staked axle nut
