Peugeot 408 Wheel Hub Replacement Parts

The Peugeot 408 was sold in the UK across two distinct generations: the first generation ran from 2010 to 2014, and the second generation launched in 2022 onwards. These two generations are completely different platforms, so a wheel hub from a first-gen 408 will not fit a second-gen car and vice versa. Always confirm the generation with your breaker against your registration plate.

Both the 2012 and 2013 408 fall within the first generation (2010–2014), so they share the same platform and hub geometry is expected to be consistent across those years. That said, if there were any mid-generation brake or suspension upgrades applied to later first-gen cars, the hub specification could differ, so confirm with your breaker using your full registration to be certain. This is especially worth checking if your car has a larger engine variant such as the 2.0-litre diesel.

Yes, engine size can matter because larger or more powerful engines are sometimes paired with bigger brakes, which in turn can require a different hub to match the larger brake components. For the first-generation 408, the 2.0 HDi variants in particular may carry different brake and hub specifications compared to the smaller 1.6 engines. Give your breaker your registration so they can verify the exact spec rather than relying on engine size alone.

Trim level alone does not affect wheel hub fitment on the 408 — Active, Allure, and other trim grades do not use different hub assemblies purely because of their trim designation. What can vary is brake disc size if different trim levels were paired with different engine or brake packages, so the engine and brake specification matters more than the trim name itself. Be aware that alloy wheel size may differ between trims, but the hub itself is unaffected by cosmetic or interior differences.

Yes, it does matter — NS (nearside, passenger side) and OS (offside, driver side) hubs are handed on most cars due to the direction of the hub flange, ABS sensor positioning, or CV joint orientation. Always specify the correct side when contacting a breaker, and double-check it against the side your car actually needs. Fitting the wrong side can affect ABS sensor function and wheel bearing seating, so do not assume the two sides are interchangeable.

No — the first and second generations of the 408 are built on entirely different platforms, with the second generation using Peugeot's modern EMP2 architecture, so the hub assemblies are not interchangeable across that generation boundary. Always make sure your breaker is sourcing from the correct generation by providing your full registration number. Mixing parts across generations risks incorrect bearing fitment, ABS incompatibility, and unsafe wheel retention.
