Specification intake

What to put on each RFQ line

InputWhat to send
ApplicationOE cross reference plus year, make, model, axle, side and drivetrain. Use a VIN-derived application record when model-year breaks leave two candidates.
Hub flangeMounting pattern, pilot diameter, stud thread and flange geometry from a drawing or a labeled sample.
ABS encoderEncoder type and location, connector keying and lead routing where a harness is included.
InputWhat to send
DimensionsBearing bore, outer diameter and width in mm, with the drawing revision or OE reference.
Seal and encoderSeal lip configuration and encoder side. A bearing that seats correctly can still present the wrong signal orientation.
Installation scopeRetaining rings, fasteners and preload instructions where applicable to the design. Mark service hardware separately in the quote.

Procurement steps

From reference to release

  1. 01

    Set the part boundary

    Record the OE reference, fitment, part scope and open questions in one line per item.

  2. 02

    Compare like for like

    Keep quote validity, MOQ, packing units and named Incoterm visible beside the unit price.

  3. 03

    Clear sample exceptions

    Compare the received flange and ABS interface against the agreed reference. Record any deviation before the buyer approves release.

  4. 04

    Reconcile the shipment

    Review carton counts and labels against the purchase lines and the packing list before handoff to the freight provider.

Buyer workflows

How purchasing teams use the desk

Importers

Quote by market, packaging unit and named destination.

Distributors

Keep alternate OE references attached to the application list.

Repair networks

Separate complete hub units from bearing-only kits.

Fleet teams

Group requests by axle and duty rather than model badge.

Catalog teams

Track exclusion notes when listings share a base model.

Quality teams

Define the records required before sample approval.

Before you send

Common hub sourcing questions

It starts the search. Add axle, drivetrain and target market so the supplier can confirm the specific revision. Where two versions share a mounting pattern, request connector details and an encoder-side photo before sample sign-off.

Send the quantities by reference. A combined shipment can share freight while suppliers still quote MOQ and lead time by SKU. Compare any consolidation fees and packing responsibilities as separate lines.

Check the issuing entity, covered facility and scope for a quality-system certificate. Ask for the sample, method, conditions and SKU named in a product test report. The buyer decides whether the record satisfies the intended market requirement.

Next step

Have a part reference ready?

Send the OE number, quantity and destination. Add any fitment question that needs to be resolved before a supplier can quote.
