Autoround Wheel Hub Assembly for 2011–2018 Ford Explorer — Front/Rear 5‑Lug with ABS Tone Ring

Autoround 512460 is a direct-fit front or rear wheel hub assembly engineered as a replacement for 2011–2018 Ford Explorer and compatible Police Interceptor Utility models.

When a wheel hub or bearing shows noise, play, or ABS faults, replacing the entire hub assembly restores steering stability and wheel alignment without the hassle of pressing bearings. The Autoround 512460 hub comes preassembled with the bearing and ABS tone ring, sized and tuned to match factory mounting points so you can swap it into either front or rear positions on the specified Ford models.

How does this hub assembly match my vehicle?

The 512460 is built to the same flange and bolt-circle dimensions used on the 2011–2018 Ford Explorer and 2013–2019 Police Interceptor Utility. It uses a five-lug pattern and includes the ABS sensor ring to maintain electronic stability systems. That means a bolt-on replacement without modifications when paired with the correct model and year.

• Five-lug configuration compatible with factory wheel studs
• Flange diameter: 5.73 inches; flange offset: 1.69 inches
• Bolt circle diameter: 4.5 inches for direct fit
• Includes ABS tone ring for sensor continuity

What features improve reliability and installation?

The assembly arrives pre-assembled and pre-greased so you avoid separate bearing presses and contamination risk. Autoround tests its hub assemblies to meet or exceed OEM performance benchmarks, and the design focuses on long-term durability under everyday driving and light-duty fleet use.

• Preinstalled bearing and ABS ring for fast installation
• Precision-machined mating surfaces for correct fit and alignment
• Durable seals and corrosion-resistant finishes for extended life
• Replaces OE references such as 512460, WE60589, HA590446, BR930809

Can I install this myself and what tools are needed?

Experienced DIYers with basic automotive tools can install the hub assembly, but wheel hubs require proper torque and sometimes specialized sockets or a torque wrench. Because the hub arrives assembled, installation typically means unbolting the old hub and bolting the new unit in place, then reconnecting the ABS sensor and torqueing fasteners to spec.

• Standard socket set and torque wrench recommended
• Jack, stands, and wheel chocks for safe vehicle support
• Possible need for heat or penetrating oil if bolts are corroded
• Professional installation advised if unfamiliar with suspension work

Who is this for? The Autoround 512460 hub assembly is intended for owners and technicians servicing 2011–2018 Ford Explorer and 2013–2019 Police Interceptor Utility vehicles who need a reliable, direct-replacement front or rear hub. It suits fleet maintainers, DIY mechanics seeking a time-saving preassembled unit, and anyone replacing a noisy or failing hub/bearing or addressing ABS fault symptoms. Autoround backs this part with a three-year QA policy and customer support for fitment help, making it a practical option for restoring wheel performance without expensive OEM pricing.
