Used wheel hubs vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Mazda 323 ran in two distinct generations across that period: the fourth generation (BG) covered roughly 1989 to 1994, and the fifth generation (BA) ran from 1994 to 1998, so a 1995 hub comes from the BA while a 1990 hub is from the BG. These generations used different running gear and the hubs are not a straightforward swap across that boundary. Confirm with the breaker against both registrations before ordering.
Yes, engine size can matter because larger-engined 323s were often fitted with bigger brakes, and the hub must match the brake setup on your car. A hub from a 1.3 car may not suit a 1.6 or 1.8 application even within the same generation. Always tell the breaker your exact engine size alongside your registration so they can pull the right unit.
Trim level alone does not affect wheel hub fitment on the Mazda 323 — the hub is part of the running gear, not the interior or cosmetic specification. What actually drives the difference is the generation and engine size, not whether the car is badged LX or GLX. You may receive a hub that looks slightly different cosmetically, but that will not affect whether it fits and functions correctly.
The fifth generation BA 323 was introduced in 1994, but production of the fourth generation BG overlapped during that year depending on market and build date, so a 1994 car could be either generation. This matters significantly for the hub because BG and BA running gear differs. Give your breaker the full registration so they can confirm exactly which generation your car is before supplying the part.
Yes, you do — the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) hubs are handed and are not interchangeable. Always tell your breaker which side you need when requesting a quote. Getting this wrong means the hub will not locate correctly, so double-check before confirming your order.
Hubs from within the same BA generation (1994–1998) are more likely to be compatible with each other than those from a different generation, but engine size differences within the BA range mean you should still verify the exact application. There were no widely documented facelift-driven hub changes within the BA, but mid-generation brake specification variants cannot be ruled out. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain.
