The Volvo S40 Wheel Hub gives the small sedan a good and smooth pivot point that allows each rim to turn with confidence during steering, braking and acceleration processes. The hub pivot is clamped between the drive axle splines and the brake disc on one side and wheel studs on the opposite side, and its sealed bearings provide motion and silent operation as well as protecting delicate ABS sensors that supply the stability electronics. Many of the low-cost successes of the Wheel Hub can be credited to three factory designs, the one-piece replaceable cartridge, press-apart hub and bearing pair, and opposed tapered rollers on a few rear corners, all of which have been proved to perform thousands of miles of lateral and braking loads without play. Over two generations, Volvo did not change the hub or the patterns of its bolts, matching the pattern of the flange and of the axle length, such that each S40 variation, including the original 1.8 petrol models and subsequent turbocharged T5 models, would fit together perfectly. The payoff experienced by the drivers is in crisp turn-in, balanced stopping distances and reduced rolling resistance which enhance fuel economy in a subtle way. Since the Wheel Hub supports brake rotors, calipers and the rim itself, it has a frontline position of safety by ensuring that the discs are located centrally to ensure contact with the pads is even in case of emergency stops. The owners like the fact that Volvo has tuned bearing preload to reduce vibration which is a minor detail, but which contributes to the fact that the small saloon can remain calm in the uneven urban streets and highways of both velocities. The factory Volvo hub is an exception in a market full of generic components with its built-in sensor channels, rust-resistant coating and cartridge option, which not only reduces wait time, but also makes it a small but very needed hero in the bigger tale of the S40.
