Description:
This kit of five alloy steel rear axle hub nuts is aimed at routine maintenance and replacement on various BMW 1, 3 and 5 Series models. Useful when renewing wheel bearings or drive shafts, this set offers threaded M24 x 1.5 nuts that secure the rear hub assembly and help maintain proper wheel alignment during driving.
Key Points
The pack contains five wheel bearing hub nuts intended for the rear axle, compatible with a wide range of BMW models including E36, E46, E81, E82, E87, E88, E90, E92, and some F-series and Z models. Each nut has an internal thread of M24 x 1.5 and an outer neck diameter of 40 mm, with a rear axle thickness of 15 mm according to the supplied data. They use an external 12-point hex bit for fastening, which is common in professional workshops and for home mechanics who have the right socket set. ⚙️
These hub nuts are described as made from an aluminium alloy with corrosion resistance and tolerance to high and low temperatures, which the manufacturer indicates should extend service life and resist ageing. Consider that aluminium alloys can behave differently from steel under heavy torque, so following torque specifications is advisable when installing.
