Hyundai Kia Wheel Hub Bearing & ABS Sensor Wholesale Sourcing Guide 2026

Wheel Hub Bearing & ABS Sensor Wholesale for Hyundai Kia

Wheel hub bearings and ABS wheel speed sensors are among the highest-turnover chassis parts in the Hyundai-Kia aftermarket. Every vehicle has four hub bearings and four ABS sensors, and they wear out on a predictable schedule — typically 80,000 to 120,000 km for bearings and 60,000 to 100,000 km for sensors in hot, dusty, or rough-road markets. This guide covers the five products in our Guangzhou warehouse, their OE reference numbers, pricing tiers, quality grades, and the technical details that procurement managers need when sourcing for distribution in Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Kingmay Auto Parts supplies hub bearings in Gen 2 (press-in) and Gen 3 (bolt-on) formats, ABS sensors in both Hall-effect active and magnetic passive types, and application-specific variants for the Hyundai Elantra/Cerato platform and the Tucson/Sportage SUV platform. All products carry ISO/TS 16949 certification and ship with 12-month warranty term

Product Catalog: Hub Bearings & ABS Sensors

The catalog spans 13 distinct OE reference numbers across five SKUs. The Elantra/Cerato hub (id=187) and Tucson/Sportage hub (id=188) are platform-specific, while the universal wheel bearing (id=68) and hub assembly (id=69) cover a wider range of Asian and Western vehicles. The ABS sensor (id=80) is cross-compatible with Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Honda, Ford, and Audi app

Hub Bearing Generations: Gen 1 vs Gen 2 vs Gen 3

Hyundai and Kia vehicles use three generations of wheel hub bearing designs, and procurement managers must know which type fits their market's vehicle fleet. Ordering the wrong generation means the part cannot be installed without a hydraulic press and shop tooling that most aftermarket garages in developing markets do not have.

Our id=68 (Wheel Bearing) covers all three generations, while id=69 (Hub Bearing Assembly) focuses on Gen 2 and Gen 3 bolt-on units. The application-specific id=187 (Elantra/Cerato) and id=188 (Tucson/Sportage) are Gen 2 double-row angular contact bearings with integrated ABS encoder rings — the most common replacement type in markets where 2010-2020 Hyundai-Kia vehicles d

ABS Wheel Speed Sensor: Technical Specifications

The ABS wheel speed sensor (id=80) is the electronic component that reads the magnetic encoder ring on the hub bearing and transmits wheel rotational speed data to the ABS/ESC control module. When a hub bearing is replaced, the ABS sensor is often damaged or contaminated during disassembly — which is why we recommend ordering sensors alongside bearings in a paired replacement strategy.

Post-2010 Hyundai-Kia vehicles predominantly use active Hall-effect sensors because they can detect wheel speed at near-zero velocity, enabling hill-start assist, auto-hold braking, and more precise traction control. Passive inductive sensors are found on pre-2010 models and are cheaper but cannot detect speeds below 3 km/h. We supply both types with OEM-matched con

Pricing Tiers & Wholesale Structure

Our FOB Guangzhou pricing follows a three-tier structure based on order quantity. All prices are in USD and include standard export packing (anti-corrosion oil + vacuum-sealed bag + carton). Prices do not include freight, insurance, or destination-country import duties.

For a full container mix order (200+ pcs across all five SKUs), the average unit cost lands at approximately $18.60. A typical 20-foot container holds 2,000-2,500 hub bearings and 3,000-4,000 ABS sensors, giving a total container value of roug

Failure Diagnosis: When to Replace Hub Bearings & ABS Sensors

Hub bearing failure follows a predictable pattern. The first symptom is usually a humming or droning noise at speeds above 60 km/h that increases with vehicle speed. As the bearing degrades further, the noise becomes a grinding or growling sound, and vibration can be felt through the steering wheel or floor pan. In the final stage, the wheel develops play — detectable by jacking up the vehicle and rocking the wheel at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions.

ABS sensor failure is harder to diagnose because the sensor itself does not make noise. The most common symptom is an illuminated ABS warning light on the dashboard, accompanied by a stored trouble code (C1201-C1299 on Hyundai-Kia vehicles). Other indicators include: traction control activating unexpectedly on dry roads, speedometer fluctuations at low speed, and transmission harshness (some Hyundai-Kia 6-speed automatics use the rear ABS sensor for output shaft speed calculation).

The critical pairing issue: when a Gen 2 or Gen 3 hub bearing with an integrated ABS encoder ring is replaced, the old ABS sensor must be removed from the old bearing and reinstalled in the new one. During this process, the sensor tip can be contaminated with metallic debris from the worn bearing, causing immediate ABS light illumination after the repair. We recommend replacing the ABS sensor whenever the hub bearing is replaced on vehicles with over 100,000 km — the $12-$48 sensor cost is small comp

Quality Grades: OEM vs OES vs Aftermarket

We supply three quality grades for hub bearings and ABS sensors. The grade selection depends on the target market's price sensitivity and the buyer's warranty policy.

OEM Grade — Manufactured by the same Tier 1 suppliers that supply Hyundai-Kia assembly lines (ILJIN, SCHAEFFLER/FAG, NSK, NTN). These bearings carry the OEM part number stamped on the outer race and come in original packaging. Prices are at the top of the range ($65-$85 for universal, $30-$38 for application-specific). Best for buyers who serve dealership networks or offer 24-month warranties.

OES Grade — Manufactured to OEM specifications by Tier 2 suppliers with ISO/TS 16949 certification. These use the same bearing steel (SUJ2 / 100Cr6), same seal design, and same grease specification as OEM, but may use a slightly different cage material or surface finish. Prices are 30-40% below OEM. This is our best-selling grade for distributors in Nigeria, Kenya, and the UAE who want OEM-level reliability at a competitive price point.

Aftermarket Economy — Manufactured to dimensional specifications but with standard-grade bearing steel and commercial-grade seals. Prices are 50-60% below OEM. Suitable for markets where the average vehicle age exceeds 12 years and the buyer prioritizes low cost over long service life. We do not recommend this grade for ABS sensors because the Hall-effect

FAQ: Hyundai Kia Hub Bearing & ABS Sensor Wholesale

FAQ: Hyundai Kia Hub Bearing & ABS Sensor Wholesale

How long do Hyundai Kia wheel hub bearings last?

OEM-grade hub bearings typically last 100,000-150,000 km under normal driving conditions. In markets with poor road surfaces (unpaved roads, potholes), high ambient temperatures (Middle East, Africa), and heavy vehicle loading (taxis, ride-share), the service life drops to 60,000-90,000 km. Gen 3 bolt-on bearings tend to last longer than Gen 2 press-in bearings because the factory-set preload eliminates installation error. We recommend inspecting hub bearings at every tire rotation (10,000 km) and replacing them at the first sign of noise — continuing to drive on a failed bearing can damage the CV joint, steering knuckle, and ABS sensor tone ring.

What are the symptoms of a failing ABS wheel speed sensor?

The most common symptom is an illuminated ABS warning light with a stored trouble code (C1201-C1299 on Hyundai-Kia). Other signs include: intermittent traction control activation on dry roads, speedometer needle fluctuation at low speeds (below 20 km/h), transmission harshness or delayed shifting (on Hyundai-Kia 6-speed automatics that use the rear wheel speed sensor for output shaft speed), and disabled hill-start assist. To diagnose, use an OBD-II scanner to read the ABS module codes, then check the suspect sensor's resistance (passive: 1,000-2,500 ohms; active: 12V supply with digital output) and inspect the sensor tip for metallic debris contamination from a worn hub bearing.

Should I replace the ABS sensor when replacing the hub bearing?

Yes, for vehicles over 100,000 km. The ABS sensor sits inside the hub bearing's magnetic encoder ring, and when the bearing wears, metallic debris from the worn race and balls contaminates the sensor tip. Removing the sensor from the old bearing and reinstalling it in the new one often results in immediate ABS light illumination because the debris cannot be fully cleaned from the Hall-effect IC. The sensor costs $12-$48 (depending on grade and quantity) versus $15-$85 for the bearing — replacing both at the same time saves the labor cost of a second disassembly and ensures the ABS system functions correctly after the repair.

What is the difference between 51720-1G000 and 51720-2H000?

Both are front wheel hub bearings for the Hyundai Elantra / Kia Cerato platform, but they fit different model years. 51720-1G000 is for the Hyundai Elantra YD/HD (2006-2010) and Kia Cerato TD (2006-2011) with 4-bolt pattern (4×100). 51720-2H000 is for the Hyundai Elantra MD (2011-2015) and Kia Cerato YD (2012-2016) with 5-bolt pattern (5×114.3). 51720-A7000 is the latest version for the Elantra AD (2016-2020) and Cerato BD (2017-2021). All three use a Gen 2 double-row angular contact bearing with integrated ABS encoder ring, but the bolt pattern, hub diameter, and tone ring polarity differ — they are not interchangeable.

What is the minimum order quantity for hub bearings?

MOQ is 10 pieces per SKU for the universal wheel bearing (id=68) and hub assembly (id=69), and 20 pieces per SKU for the application-specific Elantra (id=187) and Tucson (id=188) variants. ABS sensors (id=80) have a 20-piece MOQ. Sample orders of 1-9 pieces are accepted at the sample-tier price (top of the range). For new distributors, we recommend starting with a 50-piece mixed order (10 pcs × 5 SKUs) to test market demand, then scaling to container orders once sell-through is confirmed.

Do you provide warranty on hub bearings and ABS sensors?

Yes. All products carry a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects (bearing race cracking, ball spalling, seal failure, sensor IC malfunction). The warranty starts from the bill of lading date and covers replacement of the defective part — it does not cover labor costs for removal and reinstallation. OEM-grade bearings from ILJIN/FAG/NSK carry an extended 24-month warranty when purchased in quantities of 50+ per SKU. Warranty claims require photos of the defective part, the lot number stamped on the outer race or sensor housing, and the original commercial invoice.
