The same wheel hub assembly can reach a distributor catalog, a fleet repair program or a supplier quality team with different approval criteria.
Build a catalog line from vehicle year, platform, OE cross reference and axle position. Record flange geometry, ABS encoder location, and hardware contents by reference. For alternate sources, compare lot traceability and pack labeling before merging an application entry.
Use repair records to separate bolt-on hub platforms from bearing-serviceable platforms. The bolt-on route can reduce assembly steps at the workshop. A serviceable bearing preserves replacement flexibility where the knuckle and service tools allow. Record bore, outer diameter, width, seal orientation and service procedure in the brief.
Map the supplier sample to the controlling drawing and wheel speed sensor interface. Agree the runout datum, fixture and instrument resolution with the inspection party. Compare recorded values against the drawing limits and route an out-of-scope result to the buyer’s release owner.
01Reference and application
OE cross reference, vehicle platform and axle position.
02Mechanical interfaces
Hub flange, pilot diameter, mounting pattern and load requirement.
03Signal and service scope
Encoder side, sensor interface and installation hardware.
A single supplier can simplify revision and pack tracking. Multiple sources can cover more part references, with separate sample approvals and shipment reconciliation for each source.
Include the application, OE reference and destination. If you are comparing wheels as well, add pitch circle diameter (PCD), offset (ET), center bore, rim diameter and width, load rating and finish.
