stripped threads where wheel bolt goes

[ajbirken]

One of the holes where my wheel bolts go has stripped threads.

It looks like this piece is attached to the rotor.

What is this thing called? I would like to order a new one.


Thanks in advance,

adam

It's called the hub. i don't think you'll be able to buy a new one. Check the junkyards or post in the for sale/wanted forum for one.

it is called a Wheel Hub or Bearing Hub

it is a hard part to replace
meaning that you must replace the bearings and seal
and must be done with an hydraulic press

Maybe look for a complete spindle assembly. That is easier to change than just the hub.

Thanks for the replies.

I am a solid axle 4x4 person and that thing did not look like any spindle/hub assembly I had ever seen before. Then again, I had never seen wheel bolts either.

I take it that this is not an available aftermarket part (figures!)

Or you could just drill it out, put a helicoil in it then convert it to studs and wheel nuts while your at it

Sounds like a good reason to do an Aspire suspension and brake swap.

But then, any reason will do!
