Parts for your 2024 Mitsubishi Asx-Wheel hubs

2024 Mitsubishi ASX wheel hubs: purpose, care, and when to replace

Technical references including the Mitsubishi Motors Workshop Manual for ASX/RVR/Outlander Sport (MY20–MY24, Chassis groups 26/27), the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue for GA2W/GA3W models, and major bearing catalogues from OEM suppliers (e.g., NTN-SNR/NSK) confirm the 2024 Mitsubishi ASX is fitted with wheel hub and bearing assemblies at each corner, with integrated ABS tone rings/speed sensors. So, wheel hubs are very much relevant to this model.

On the 2024 ASX, the wheel hub assemblies are the unsung heroes that keep the wheels spinning smoothly and true. Each hub houses a sealed bearing, provides the mounting face for the wheel, and works hand in glove with the ABS and stability control via an integrated tone ring or encoder. They cop a hiding on Aussie and Kiwi roads—potholes, corrugations, and the odd kerb knock—so looking after them pays off in quieter rides and longer tyre life.

Being sealed units, ASX hubs don’t need regular greasing. Instead, they benefit from smart servicing habits. Any time tyres are rotated or the car’s in for a service, a quick check for roughness or play while the wheel’s off the ground is worthwhile. Spinning the wheel by hand and feeling for rumble, then rocking it at 12 and 6 o’clock to detect movement, will pick up early bearing wear. Keeping wheel nuts torqued to spec with a torque wrench (not just a rattle gun) helps prevent bearing stress and warped rotors.

Replacement is straightforward workshop work but best left to a pro if you don’t have the gear. The hub/bearing unit is replaced as an assembly, there’s no repacking or overhaul. Expect to remove the brake calliper and rotor, disconnect the ABS sensor, and on driven wheels, undo the axle nut before unbolting the hub from the knuckle. Using new fasteners and an axle nut where specified, cleaning the mating surfaces, and torquing everything to the workshop manual figures are key. If the steering knuckle bolts are disturbed, a wheel alignment check is a good idea.

Typical tell-tales that the ASX hub is on the way out include a speed-related hum or growl that changes when you weave gently between lanes, ABS warning lights or intermittent traction control intervention, vague steering or vibration, and uneven tyre wear. While hubs can last well past 150,000 kilometres, harsh conditions shorten their life. Replacing in pairs on the same axle isn’t mandatory, but many techs recommend it for balanced noise and wear. As always, genuine-quality or reputable OEM-equivalent parts keep things quiet and safe.

• Listen for humming/growling that rises with speed.
• Check for play during tyre rotations or services.
• Torque wheel nuts correctly and avoid prolonged rattle gun use.
• Protect ABS sensors and wiring during any brake or suspension work.

Popular questions about 2024 Mitsubishi ASX wheel hubs

Does the 2024 ASX use serviceable bearings or sealed hub units?
It uses sealed hub-and-bearing assemblies front and rear. There’s no greasing or adjustment, when worn, the hub unit is replaced. This is backed by the Mitsubishi Workshop Manual (Chassis 26/27) and the ASA EPC listings for “wheel hub & bearing” assemblies on GA2W/GA3W ASX models.

What are the common signs a hub is failing on an ASX?
A steady hum or growl that changes with road speed, ABS or stability control warnings, vibration through the steering, and slight play when the wheel is rocked by hand are the usual clues. If the noise shifts when gently weaving, that often points to a hub bearing.

How often should hubs be checked?
Have them checked at each service or at least when rotating tyres (every 10,000–15,000 kilometres is a good rule of thumb). They’re sealed, so it’s all about inspection—feel for roughness, check for play, and keep wheel nuts torqued correctly.
