Mercedes Sprinter Rear Hub & Wheel Bearing Assembly – Hudson | NCV3 | #9063500335 (2007–2018)
A worn rear wheel bearing on a NCV3 Sprinter produces a characteristic growling or humming that grows louder with speed, introduces play into the rear wheel, and if left unaddressed allows the wheel to wobble enough to affect braking stability and tire wear. This is the Hudson rear hub and wheel bearing assembly for NCV3 Sprinters, a complete unit that includes the hub, bearing, and ABS reluctor ring for a single-unit replacement that restores smooth, noise-free rear wheel rotation.
What This Part Does
The rear hub and wheel bearing assembly is a pre-assembled unit that integrates the rear wheel hub — the flange that the wheel bolts to — with the tapered roller wheel bearing pressed inside it. The bearing supports the full weight of the loaded van at the rear axle while allowing the hub to rotate freely on the axle stub. The assembly also includes the ABS reluctor ring that the rear wheel speed sensor reads to monitor rear wheel rotational speed for the ABS, traction control, and stability systems. When the bearing's rolling elements or races develop wear, pitting, or spalling from contamination or fatigue, the characteristic growling develops and progressively worsens. Replacing the complete assembly eliminates the need to press the bearing separately and ensures the reluctor ring is properly positioned for ABS sensor function.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Rear Wheel Bearing
- Growling, humming, or rumbling that increases with vehicle speed and changes pitch in turns
- Growling that changes when the steering is turned slightly — classic bearing noise characteristic
- Rear wheel play or looseness detected by rocking the wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock positions
- ABS or stability control warning lights from a failed reluctor ring or damaged sensor reluctor
- Uneven tire wear on the affected corner
When to Replace
Replace when bearing noise is confirmed to the rear axle, when wheel play is detected, or when ABS fault codes point to a damaged rear reluctor ring. Replace in pairs — left and right — to prevent the opposite bearing from failing shortly after repair. Always replace the rear ABS sensor if disturbed during hub removal.
