Mercedes-Benz CLA Wheel Hub Replacement Parts

The CLA (C117) ran from 2013 to 2019, with a facelift in 2016; the second generation (C118) launched in 2019. Within the C117 generation the hub design is broadly consistent, but whether a pre-facelift 2013–2015 hub crosses cleanly to a post-facelift 2016–2019 car is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration, as brake and bearing specifications can vary mid-generation. Never assume fitment without that check.

Your 2015 car is a pre-facelift C117 and your 2017 is a post-facelift C117 — both sit within the same generation, which is a good starting point. However, because the 2016 facelift is a known boundary and mid-generation brake upgrades can affect hub compatibility, you should confirm the specific part number with the breaker against both registrations before buying. Don't rely on year alone.

Yes, it can — larger-engined CLA variants such as the CLA 250 and AMG-line CLA 45 often run bigger brake assemblies than smaller-engined models like the CLA 180 or CLA 200, and the hub is sized to match the brakes. Always tell the breaker your exact engine size alongside the year so they can match the correct hub bearing and brake flange dimensions. Fitting a hub from a lower-spec engine car to a higher-spec car, or vice versa, risks a mismatch.

Trim level alone — SE, Sport, AMG Line, or similar — does not change the wheel hub itself; the hub is determined by generation and engine size, not badges or interior specification. You may find that a car being broken was fitted with different alloy wheel sizes depending on trim, but the hub behind the wheel is the same for the same engine variant. Tell the breaker your engine size and year and they can match the part regardless of what trim the donor car was.

No — front and rear hubs on the CLA are different components with different bearing arrangements and bolt patterns, so you must specify which end you need when contacting a breaker. The front hub also integrates with the steering and suspension geometry in a way the rear unit does not. Be precise: quote front or rear, your year, and your engine size to get the right part.

The CLA Shooting Brake (X117) shares its platform and running gear with the C117 saloon, so hubs from the same engine variant and year range are generally considered equivalent — but platform-sharing alone is not a guarantee of interchangeability. Confirm with the breaker using the full registration of both the donor car and your vehicle before purchasing, as production tolerances and running changes can introduce differences. Always verify part numbers where possible.
