Van Bigger Brakes Hub Set W/44MM Studs

GOWESTY. Pair of hubs WITH 44mm length ( M14x1.5 ) studs. This front hub conversion kit is required to update your 2WD van to any larger front brake system. Really? Why? All 2WD Vanagons were delivered from the factory with front brake rotors that also carried the inner and outer wheel bearings. This integrated hub/rotor approach works well but requires replacing the bearings everytime you need new brake rotors. Maintaining this system is unnecessarily expensive and doesn't allow for a larger rotor and caliper to be used for improved braking. If you want to run our Bigger Brakes (recommended), or any big brake kit on the market, you first need to convert your vehicle to this bearing carrier hub set. Once you have these hubs, you can bolt on bigger brakes, and replace brake components as needed without touching your wheel bearings.

Features of GoWesty front hubs:
• Dimensions and tolerances are exactly the same as the OEM VW (South Africa) hub, but that is where the comparison ends!
• Made from a solid billet of steel, not whittled from a cast part like the original.
• Zinc plated for corrosion resistance. No other hub on the market is plated, not even the OEM VW.
• Lug holes are threaded M14x1.5 — which makes them compatible with lug bolts or thread-in studs.
• No need to buy studs if you already have suitable lug bolts, but switching to thread-in studs/lug nuts makes good sense.
• Threaded-in (instead of pressed in like OE hubs) studs are superior because they can be replaced easily—without removing the hub.
