Fiat 500 Wheel Hub Replacement Parts

The Fiat 500 (current generation) launched in 2007 and has been in continuous production, with a facelift arriving in 2015 – within that run, hubs are broadly shared but confirm with the breaker whether a pre-2015 or post-2015 unit matches your exact registration, as brake sizes can vary across that boundary. Engine size also matters: a 0.9 TwinAir or 1.4 may carry different hub and bearing assemblies to a base 1.2. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can pull the exact spec.

2013 and 2017 models sit either side of the 2015 facelift, which is a meaningful boundary for running gear; while the basic platform is shared, brake and hub specifications can differ between pre- and post-facelift cars. Confirm with the breaker against both registrations before buying – they can check whether the hub, bearing, and any ABS ring match. Never assume a direct swap across that 2015 boundary without verification.

For standard trim levels like Pop, Pop Star, and Lounge, trim does not affect wheel hub fitment – the hubs are determined by generation, engine size, and brake specification, not interior or cosmetic grade. The Abarth 500 is a different matter: its uprated brakes mean the hub assembly is likely to differ from a standard 500, so do not assume an Abarth part crosses over to or from a mainstream trim. Quote your exact registration to the breaker and let them confirm the correct unit for your spec.

Yes, engine size can influence fitment because larger or more powerful engines are sometimes paired with bigger brakes, and the hub must match the brake carrier and bearing assembly fitted to your car. A 1.2-litre base model and a 1.4-litre or 0.9 TwinAir may not necessarily share the same hub. Give the breaker your registration so they can confirm the correct part for your exact drivetrain.

For front hubs yes, side can matter because the hub must align with the correct driveshaft flange and ABS sensor position on that corner of the car. Rear hubs on a Fiat 500 are more likely to be interchangeable side-to-side, but confirm this with the breaker rather than assuming. Always specify nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) when requesting a quote.

The Fiat 500 has been built on a broadly consistent platform since 2007, so there is genuine commonality across many years, but the 2015 facelift and variations in engine and brake specification mean a blanket '2007 onwards' description should be treated with caution. A hub sourced from a car with a different brake setup or from across the facelift boundary may not be a straight fit. Confirm the donor car's registration and spec with the breaker against your own registration before committing to a purchase.
