Second Hand Peugeot 407 Wheel Hub

The 407 ran from 2004 to 2011, with a facelift arriving in 2008, and the hub design can vary across that boundary due to potential changes in brake and suspension components. Naming the boundary is the easy part — whether a pre-facelift hub actually crosses to a post-facelift car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as they can check the part numbers. Never assume a swap works just because the years are close.

Yes, engine size can matter because larger or more powerful engines are often paired with bigger brakes, and the hub has to match the brake specification fitted to your car. A 407 with a 1.6 HDi may carry a different hub to one with a 2.7 HDi V6, for example. Always tell the breaker your engine size and registration so they can match the correct spec.

Yes, this matters — the hubs are handed, so the nearside (NS, left, driver's side in the UK) and offside (OS, right, passenger's side) are not interchangeable. Make sure you tell the breaker clearly which side you need before buying. Fitting the wrong side will cause problems with the ABS sensor orientation and bearing preload.

Trim level alone — whether your 407 is an S, SE, SR, or GT — does not determine which hub you need, as the hub is driven by brake and suspension specification rather than interior or cosmetic grade. That said, a GT may share its running gear with a higher-powered engine variant, so engine size is still the key thing to confirm with the breaker. Trim badges on a used hub make no difference to fitment.

The 407 was offered as a saloon, hatch (coupé aside), and SW estate, and while these body styles can share running gear, the estate's extra weight could mean different brake or suspension specifications on some variants. Confirm with the breaker whether the hub from an SW matches your car's brake size and ABS setup using your registration. Do not assume a straight swap without that check.

A 2006 407 sits in the pre-facelift period (2004–2008), while a 2010 hub comes from the post-facelift range (2008–2011), so there is a potential specification boundary between them. Part numbers can sometimes carry over across a facelift, but this is exactly the kind of cross-boundary question you should route to the breaker with both registrations to hand. Confirm before buying rather than relying on the year overlap looking close enough.
