Used Fiat 500X Wheel Hub

The Fiat 500X has been built as a single generation launched in 2014, with a facelift arriving in 2018 that brought updates to the front end and interior. Within the pre-facelift 2014–2018 cars, hubs are generally consistent, but whether a specific used hub crosses the 2018 facelift boundary and still fits your car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as running gear details can change at a refresh. Always give the breaker your reg so they can verify against the original spec.

The 2016 car is pre-facelift and the 2019 car sits in the post-2018 facelifted range, so these sit either side of a known production change point. Hub dimensions can carry over across a facelift, but it is not safe to assume they always do — confirm this crossing with the breaker against both registrations before buying. Naming the exact engine size on both cars will also help, as larger-engined variants sometimes run different brake and hub assemblies.

Yes, engine size can matter because bigger or more powerful engines are often paired with larger brake setups, and the hub has to suit the brake assembly it carries. On the 500X the 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, and 2.0-litre units were offered at various points, and it is worth telling the breaker your exact engine code as well as your registration to make sure the hub spec matches. Do not assume a hub from a smaller-engined donor car will be a straight swap onto a larger-engined 500X without checking.

Yes, nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) hubs are handed on most cars because of ABS sensor routing, bearing flange angles, and the way driveshafts are arranged, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. Getting the wrong side is one of the most common and easily avoided ordering mistakes on this type of running gear part. Double-check the side before any money changes hands.

Trim level — whether Pop, Lounge, Cross, or Sport — does not in itself determine which hub is fitted; what drives the hub specification is the generation, the facelift cut-off point, and the engine size. You may find cosmetic differences on a donor car, such as different wheel sizes or brake caliper colours, but the hub itself should not differ purely because of badge. Confirm the engine size matches and verify against your reg with the breaker, and trim level alone need not be a concern.

Front and rear hubs on the 500X are different components with different designs — the front hubs have to accommodate the driven driveshaft and the steering geometry, while rears have their own bearing and mounting arrangement. Always specify front or rear, along with NS or OS, when asking a breaker for a quote. Mixing them up would mean the part simply would not fit.
