Description

This FAG Wheel Set, Generation 3, is a critical component of the vehicle's suspension and steering system.

Manufactured in Slovakia, this unit measures 96 x 156 x 156 mm and carries MPN 713610610.

Key Features & Benefits

These aren’t just the shiny metal bits you see, they’re a complete set – the wheel nuts and bolts that physically hold your wheel onto the car. They’re designed with a specific thread pattern and strength rating to ensure a secure and reliable connection. This generation, the Gen 3, has an improved design for better clamping force and corrosion resistance. They’re engineered to work together as a system, not just individual pieces. Think of these as the critical link between your wheel and the car’s hub. Everything—the weight of the vehicle, the force from accelerating, braking, and turning—runs through these fasteners. They're responsible for keeping the wheel firmly in place, allowing your tires to do their job. Without properly functioning wheel sets, the wheel could loosen, causing vibrations, handling issues, and potentially, a very dangerous situation.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

These are a safety item, plain and simple. They’re constantly under stress and wear, and over time, they can stretch, corrode, or even break. If you notice any vibration in the steering wheel, unusual noises coming from the wheels, or if you've recently had tire work done, it’s a good idea to inspect or replace your wheel sets. They act like a shield, preventing the wheel from separating while you’re driving. You’ll notice if one is failing, usually through vibration or a loose feeling. Replacing them is preventative maintenance, and it’s a lot cheaper and safer than dealing with a wheel coming off. You can find a complete Generation 3 set at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s a good idea to replace all of them at once to ensure even clamping force.
