Wheel Hub Assembly for Subaru Forester: Forged Aluminium
This wheel hub assembly for the Subaru Forester is specified around forged aluminium, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is inconsistent hardness between lots, or lead time that slipped twice before bulk started. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. E-mark documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
