Used Nissan Primera Wheel Hub

The Nissan Primera ran across three main generations in the UK: the P10 (1990–1996), the P11 (1996–2002), and the P12 (2002–2008). Generation matters a great deal for wheel hubs because the suspension geometry, bearing sizes, and stub-axle dimensions differ between each generation, so a P10 hub will not simply swap into a P12. Always tell your breaker which generation you have, ideally confirmed against your registration.

A 1999 Primera is a P11 (1996–2002) and a 2003 Primera is a P12 (2002–2008), so these sit either side of a clear generation boundary. Hubs from the P11 and P12 are not the same, and crossing that boundary is very unlikely to produce a direct fit. Confirm the part numbers with your breaker against both registrations before buying.

Engine size can influence fitment on the Primera because larger-engined variants were sometimes paired with uprated brakes, and the hub must match the brake assembly it carries. A hub from a 1.6 car may not suit a 2.0 or 2.2 dCi variant if the brake specification differs. Give your breaker your engine size as well as the generation so they can match the correct hub.

Trim level — whether S, SE, SVE, or similar — does not affect which wheel hub you need, as the running gear is determined by generation and engine size rather than specification grade. You may find that a hub pulled from a different trim car looks slightly different due to corrosion or minor casting variations, but this is cosmetic and not a fitment concern. Focus your search on matching the generation and engine size rather than the trim name.

Front wheel hubs on the Primera are handed — nearside (NS, left) and offside (OS, right) — so you do need to specify the correct side when contacting a breaker. Rear hubs may also differ side to side depending on the ABS sensor arrangement, so it is safest to state the side regardless of axle. Always confirm NS or OS with your breaker to avoid receiving the wrong part.

The P11 Primera received a facelift in 1999, primarily updating the bodywork and interior rather than the fundamental suspension or hub design. In most cases the hub specification carried over within the P11 generation, but whether a pre-facelift hub is a direct swap for a post-facelift one is something you should confirm with your breaker against your registration, as minor running-gear revisions can occur mid-generation. Quoting your registration to the breaker remains the most reliable way to get the right part.
