Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented wheel hub is designed for installation on the rear right axle, which is crucial for maintaining correct geometry and even load distribution in the suspension. The placement on the vehicle is strictly defined, which is why this component is used exclusively on the rear passenger side, in accordance with factory design specifications.

Such a fit allows for:

• stable wheel seating and proper transfer of lateral and longitudinal forces,
• correct interaction with the wheel bearing and multi-link suspension components,
• maintaining precise vehicle handling at higher speeds.

Technical and functional characteristics

The rear right wheel hub for VW Golf Mk7 and Audi S3 8V belongs to the Bearings, wheel hubs and bushings group, responsible for transferring loads from the wheel to the suspension and ensuring smooth wheel rotation relative to the steering knuckle. The OEM construction guarantees compliance with factory tolerances, which is essential for:

• maintaining wheel alignment relative to the hub and brake disc,
• proper operation of assistance system sensors (e.g., ABS, ESP – if integrated into the specific design solution),
• reducing play and unwanted vibrations in the chassis.

Using an original component from the Volkswagen brand minimizes the risk of installation issues, leaks, or accelerated wear of other suspension components.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered wheel hub comes from dismantling and is sold as a used part, which allows you to significantly reduce repair costs compared to a new OEM element. At the same time, you retain the factory technical specification, fitment to the steering knuckle, and compatibility with other rear suspension sub-assemblies.

Application in VW Golf Mk7 and Audi S3 8V

The rear right wheel hub has been developed for VW Golf Mk7 and Audi S3 8V models, where the suspension system and rear axle geometry require precisely selected components. Using an original element from the Volkswagen group allows you to maintain:

• structural consistency with the factory suspension,
• proper fitment with the brake disc, caliper, and shields,
• stable vehicle handling in corners and during braking.

Thanks to this, the hub will perform well both in standard operation and in more dynamic driving, typical for higher-performance versions such as the Audi S3 8V.

Comprehensive rear suspension service

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the rear suspension area in your Volkswagen and need other elements from the same group, such as additional hubs, wheel bearings, or mounting bushings, check the available parts in the Volkswagen Bearings, wheel hubs and bushings category.

Selecting components from one design group allows you to effectively reduce play, improve driving stability, and minimize the risk of uneven tire wear. This is particularly important in vehicles where the rear axle works under higher loads or is heavily utilized.
