PAROD Front Wheel Hub Assembly 513296 — 32-Spline Direct-Replace for 2007–2018 Altima, Maxima & Pathfinder

If a worn hub bearing or noisy wheel end is affecting steering feel or producing vibration, the PAROD 513296 front wheel hub assembly offers an affordable aftermarket option designed to meet OE fit and function. Built from durable materials and vehicle-tested for compatibility, this hub assembly ships ready to install and includes a 32-spline configuration for the listed applications. The following details explain what the part does, how it fits, and whether it’s right for your repair.

How does this hub assembly restore vehicle safety and performance?

The hub assembly secures the wheel to the suspension and contains the bearing surfaces that allow the wheel to spin smoothly. Replacing a worn or noisy hub reduces vibration, restores correct wheel alignment geometry, and ensures the ABS tone ring (if present) functions properly.

• Secures wheel to knuckle and supports vehicle load.
• Integrated bearing provides low-friction rotation and longevity.
• Maintains correct ABS/speed sensor tone ring alignment where applicable.
• Engineered for consistent preload and repeatable fitment.

Which vehicles and spline counts does the PAROD 513296 fit?

This assembly covers multiple Nissan and Infiniti models that require a 32-spline front hub. Confirm part compatibility by matching year, model, and spline count before purchase to ensure a direct fit without modification.

• 2007–2018 Nissan Altima (3.5L V6 & select years listed).
• 2009–2014 Nissan Maxima and 2016–2021 Maxima (to 10/2020 on some trims).
• 2013–2016 Infiniti JX35 and 2019–2021 Infiniti QX50 models.
• 2013–2020 Infiniti QX60 and 2013–2018 Nissan Pathfinder with 32-spline hubs.

What materials and build features support durability?

PAROD designs this hub assembly to meet the wear and tolerance expectations of original equipment. The part uses robust bearing races and seals to resist contamination and preserve lubrication, giving many miles of reliable service when installed correctly.

• High-strength hub and bearing materials matched to OE performance.
• Sealed bearing construction to limit dirt and water ingress.
• Precision-machined splines and mounting surfaces for repeatable alignment.
• Vehicle-tested fit to reduce installation rework.

How difficult is installation and what should I expect?

Installation is straightforward for a trained DIYer or professional mechanic and typically requires standard shop tools. Some steps—like torquing the axle nut to specification and checking preload—are critical for safe operation, so follow factory procedures or a repair manual.

• Designed as a bolt-in replacement for direct-fit applications.
• No specialty press usually required for this complete assembly swap.
• Requires proper torqueing of fasteners and axle nut where applicable.
• Inspect surrounding components (CV joint, knuckle) during installation.

Who is this for? The PAROD 513296 front wheel hub assembly is aimed at vehicle owners, independent mechanics, and fleet service shops replacing worn or noisy front hubs on compatible Nissan and Infiniti models. It’s suitable when you want an aftermarket part that mirrors OE fit and performance, backed by a manufacturer protection plan, and intended for drivers who need a cost-effective, long-lasting repair without altering factory geometry.
