Vurkcy Front/Rear Wheel Hub Bearing Assembly 513288 for 2013-15 Chevy Malibu — 5-Bolt ABS Encoder, Pre-assembled

The Vurkcy 513288 wheel bearing hub assembly is a direct-fit front or rear replacement designed to restore smooth, quiet wheel rotation on compatible GM vehicles.

If your Chevy Malibu, Equinox, Impala, Buick, Cadillac, GMC or Saab is showing wheel noise, vibration, or an illuminated ABS warning after years of service, the 513288 hub assembly from Vurkcy offers a full hub-and-bearing unit that replaces worn components in one installation. Manufactured to meet factory-style dimensions and tested for fatigue, this single-piece assembly simplifies repair and helps return handling and braking performance to expected levels.

Which vehicles and positions does this hub assembly fit?

This Vurkcy 513288 part covers a broad range of GM-platform cars and SUVs when installed as a front or rear unit, depending on model year and configuration. Verify your vehicle’s year, drive type (AWD or FWD), and brake/ABS codes against the fitment list before purchase.

• Position: usable as specified for front or rear applications depending on model

How is the hub assembly built and what are the key specifications?

The unit ships as a single hub-and-bearing assembly with a five-bolt lug pattern and an ABS encoder type suited to vehicles equipped with wheel-speed sensors. A 3-bolt triangular flange helps match original mounting geometry for a secure fit.

• Lug pattern: 5-bolt
• ABS: encoder-style wheel speed sensor compatible
• Flange: 3-bolt triangular flange for proper mounting alignment
• Supplied: one complete hub and bearing assembly per package

What performance and quality checks does Vurkcy perform?

Vurkcy reports that each assembly undergoes fatigue and durability testing at the factory to verify operational life and reduce noise or premature wear. While not a promise of specific mileage, these tests are intended to ensure consistent fit and quiet function under normal driving conditions.

• Factory fatigue testing for life-cycle validation
• Noise reduction focus to minimize wheel hum and vibration
• Supplied as a pre-assembled unit to cut installation time and error
• Includes a 1-year unlimited-mileage warranty from Vurkcy

How simple is installation and what should I check before fitting?

Because the part is pre-assembled, installation is typically faster than rebuilding an original hub and bearing; however, correct fitment checks and torque specifications are essential. Inspect mating surfaces, studs, and ABS connectors, and replace wheel fasteners if damaged or corroded.

• Pre-assembled hub reduces shop time compared with separate components
• Confirm ABS connector type and wheel stud condition prior to install
• Follow manufacturer torque and break-in procedures for safety
• Consider wheel alignment after installation if steering feel or toe settings changed

Who is this for: The Vurkcy 513288 hub assembly is aimed at DIY mechanics, independent repair shops, and fleet technicians who need a cost-effective, factory-dimension replacement for GM vehicles listed in the fitment. It suits owners replacing noisy or failing wheel bearings who want a pre-assembled, test-validated unit with a one-year warranty rather than sourcing separate bearings and hubs.
