2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Wheel Hubs: What They Do and When to Replace

Wheel hubs are absolutely used on the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander. Technical references that confirm this include the Mitsubishi Motors service manual (Front Axle Group 33A and Rear Axle Group 35A) for the 2016–2021 Outlander/Outlander PHEV, the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue, and major aftermarket catalogues from SKF, NTN-SNR and Timken. These sources list unitised (sealed) wheel hub and bearing assemblies front and rear, with integrated ABS encoder rings.

On this model, the wheel hub is the sturdy flange that the brake rotor and wheel bolt onto. Inside is a sealed bearing that lets the wheel spin smoothly while carrying the Outlander’s weight and cornering loads. The hub also provides the mounting for the ABS/speed signal and keeps the rotor running true so braking stays consistent. Front hubs sit on the driveshafts for FWD/AWD, while the rear hubs are bolted to the trailing arm/knuckle assembly.

Because they’re sealed, Outlander hub bearings aren’t a grease-and-go item
