Wheel hubs for the triplets Citigo, Mii and UP

Tech news

We've added the wheel hub for the very popular and widely used triplets from – Citigo, Mii and UP – to our range. The wheel hub for these three car models is particularly sensitive to the tightening torque at the wheel bolts.

Unfortunately, owners of the Citigo, Mii and UP car models often experience vibrations from the front brakes. Even after replacing both brakes and brake pads, car owners find that the problem is recurring after a short time. The underlying reason is to be found at the wheel hub. If the wheel bolts are tightened with too much torque or air wrench, the wheel hubs will be damaged and warped.   

It is therefore recommended to tighten the wheel bolts in the following three steps. 

  1. 60 Nm
  2. 80 Nm
  3. 110 Nm 

In addition, special care should be taken to remove rust on the contact surface of the brake disc. At the same time, under no circumstances should the hub surface be lubricated with brake paste, as this may prevent heat from being transferred from the disc to the wheel hub.
