The decision to rebuild or replace your wheel-hub assembly when it reaches the end of its service life depends on several factors.

ConMet recommends replacement of the wheel end as a complete unit to ensure optimum safety, reliability, and cost savings. Using a new wheel end assures that all components are correct, in new condition, and are assembled by our experienced and professional production team. In the case of time-critical repairs, where a replacement hub assembly is not immediately available through a local dealer or distributor, loose components may be a better solution. 

When rebuilding a hub with loose components, there are several risk factors to consider. These include using components not approved by the OEM, reusing damaged components, or the potential for assembly errors during the rebuilding process. Any of these can result in premature component or wheel-end failure.

When rebuilding a PreSet or PreSet Plus wheel hub, use genuine ConMet replacement parts. The components in a PreSet wheel-end system are approved by the OEM and are specifically designed to optimize service life.
