MOOG Wheel-End Procurement

Source wheel hub assemblies with the OE reference, flange and ABS interface on the same brief. Compare supplier quotations against the fitment and evidence your order actually requires.

Open the fitment desk

01 / Catalog

Specify the assembly before comparing prices

Front axle units

Check spline count, pilot diameter and driven versus non-driven configuration.

Rear axle units

Compare the backing plate, mounting pattern and connector routing against the reference drawing.

Hub and bearing assemblies

Record the bearing design, encoder location and kit contents in the line item.

02 / Specification

Which details go in the brief?

Fitment
OE number, VIN-derived vehicle configuration, hub flange dimensions and mounting pattern.
Interface
ABS encoder ring type, sensor connector and orientation. For a bearing kit, add bore, OD, width, seal lip and preload procedure.
Geometry
Pitch circle diameter (PCD), wheel offset (ET), center bore, rim diameter and width.
Duty
Load rating, vehicle and brake clearance, finish and target market. Define radial runout and lateral runout limits on the drawing where applicable.
Designation
Size, load index, speed rating and fitment requirements for the intended duty cycle.
Order mix
Tread pattern, use conditions, quantity per size and destination port. For off-road duty, add terrain, cut exposure and heat cycle.

03 / Review gates

From brief to shipment file

  1. 01

    Clarify

    Mark unknowns in the fitment brief and agree which details must be resolved before quote comparison.

  2. 02

    Compare

    Put each SKU on the same basis for package quantity, MOQ, lead time and the named place in the Incoterm.

  3. 03

    Review samples

    Check dimensions and encoder orientation against the approved drawing. Agree any independent inspection scope before ordering.

  4. 04

    Prepare dispatch

    Reconcile the item list, packing marks and quantities with the supplier and appointed forwarder.

05 / Evidence matrix

Evidence before commitment

Supplier

Source record

Match the quoting entity to the proposed manufacturing site and the SKU to its drawing revision.

Supplier

Document scope

Separate quality system evidence from product evidence and check the named site, model and market.

Third party

Inspection plan

Set sampling, measuring equipment, drawing datums and acceptance criteria with the appointed inspector.

Third party

Sample check

Have the inspector identify the sample lot and record the fixture and method used for flange runout.

Buyer

Approval record

Capture the approved application, reference sample and unresolved exceptions in the same revision log.

Buyer

Dispatch release

Reconcile the approved SKU and quantities with the packing list before instructing the freight partner.

06 / RFQ questions

Questions to settle before ordering

Is an OE cross reference enough?

Use it to narrow the search. An equivalent reference may differ by axle, connector or encoder orientation. Check the vehicle variant and a revision-controlled drawing before releasing a sample.

Integrated unit or serviceable bearing?

An integrated unit reduces the assembly steps at the workshop. A serviceable bearing can retain the existing hub where the application supports it, but tooling, seal seating and the preload procedure must be confirmed.

Can I combine suppliers in one shipment?

Multiple suppliers can cover gaps in the part list. One supplier can simplify packaging and exception handling. Compare each line on the same terms and agree carton and lot labels before consolidation.

When are MOQ and lead time firm?

Ask for them by supplier and SKU after specification review. Distinguish sample availability from order quantity and separate the supplier’s production window from transport time.

Put the reference and quantity in one brief

Send the part reference, vehicle, target market and destination port to start the comparison.
