Front FWD Wheel Hub Bearing for Dodge Dart & Chrysler 200: 2026 Technical Guide, DTC Codes & Replacement Insights
Why the Front Wheel Hub Bearing Matters on Your Dart or 200
Your front hub bearing is more than a spinning joint. It is a sealed unit that combines the wheel speed sensor, the ABS reluctor ring, and the load-bearing flange in one part. On the Dodge Dart (2013–2016) and Chrysler 200 (2015–2017) FWD platforms, it governs braking, traction control feedback, and steering stability.
When the bearing wears, the problem rarely stays local. A degraded hub can trigger cascading fault codes across the ABS, StabiliTrak, and ECU networks. With 2026 diagnostics leaning on sensor data, timely replacement is a maintenance priority.
The 1Pc Wheel Hub Bearing Front FWD for Dodge Dart 2013–2016 and Chrysler 200 2015–2017 from Koeep is precision-machined to meet or exceed OEM tolerances. It ships pre-assembled, so you bolt it in instead of pressing bearings.

Symptoms of a Failing Front Hub Bearing
Scan tools get sharper every year, but your ears and hands still catch most failures first. A worn front bearing on these cars usually moves through four stages:
- Stage 1 — hum or growl at 30–50 mph. A low-frequency hum that changes pitch with speed. It may briefly fade when you steer left or right as load shifts off the worn bearing.
- Stage 2 — ABS warning light and stored codes. As the encoder ring corrodes or axial play grows, the ABS module sees erratic wheel-speed signals. Typical codes: C0035 (left front) and C0040 (right front).
- Stage 3 — steering wander and vibration. Radial runout shows up as shimmy at highway speed and a loose feel during lane changes.
- Stage 4 — uneven tire wear and false ABS at low speed. ABS activation during gentle braking under 10 mph signals a badly degraded encoder ring.
Critical Safety Note
Axial endplay greater than 0.05 mm (2026 SAE J2530 standard) makes this a safety-critical failure. Keep driving and you risk wheel separation, ABS malfunction during emergency braking, and loss of vehicle control. Replace the hub immediately after a confirmed diagnosis.
2026 DTC Codes Tied to Hub Bearing Wear
These codes show up most often when a front hub bearing degrades on FCA compact platforms. Scan tools now graph live wheel-speed data at 100 Hz sampling, so technicians can flag encoder-ring anomalies before a hard fault sets.
| DTC Code | Definition | Hub Bearing Cause | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| C0035 | Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit | Damaged encoder ring or excess bearing play disrupting the sensor gap | Inspect the hub; replace if axial play exceeds 0.05 mm |
| C0040 | Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit | Corroded reluctor or contamination on the encoder surface | Replace the hub — the sensor is integrated and non-serviceable |
| C003A | Right Front Wheel Speed Signal Erratic | Intermittent dropout from bearing vibration | Scope-test the output; replace the hub if the waveform drops out |
| U1064 | Lost Communication with ABS Module | Multiple wheel-speed faults overwhelming the CAN bus | Fix the primary wheel-speed codes first, then clear and re-scan |
OEM Cross-Reference: Which Number Fits Your Car
One hub assembly covers a string of superseded Chrysler part numbers. The Koeep replacement hub bearing is built to the latest revision spec, so it stays backward compatible with every number below.
| OEM Part Number | Status | Applicable Models |
|---|---|---|
| 5085406AB | Superseded — early production | Dodge Dart 2013–2014 |
| 5085406AC | Superseded — mid production | Dodge Dart 2014–2015 |
| 5105233AB | Superseded | Chrysler 200 2015–2016 |
| 5105233AC | Latest revision — active | Dodge Dart 2015–2016; Chrysler 200 2016–2017 |
The Dart and the 200 share the Compact U.S. Wide (CUSW) platform, so knuckle geometry, bolt pattern, spline count, and the ABS connector are identical. One caution: this part is for FWD only and does not fit AWD variants.
Installation Standards and Torque Specs for 2026
Torque discipline decides how long your new hub lasts. Work this checklist exactly:
- Axle nut torque: 188 ft-lbs (255 N·m) with a calibrated torque wrench. Under-torquing is the #1 cause of premature failure.
- Hub-to-knuckle bolts: 85 ft-lbs (115 N·m) plus a 60° angle turn. Always fit new bolts — never reuse the old ones.
- Mating surfaces: wire-wheel the knuckle face clean, then apply a thin anti-seize film to prevent galvanic corrosion between the steel hub and the aluminum knuckle.
- ABS connector: dielectric grease on the pins before mating to block moisture and signal corrosion.
- No impact guns: bearing preload is set by controlled torque. Impact blows distort the raceway geometry.
- Post-install scan: clear all stored DTCs and run an ABS self-test to verify wheel-speed output at all four corners.
Why You Replace the Whole Hub Assembly, Not Just the Bearing
On the Dart and 200, the front bearing is not sold as a standalone part. The bearing, hub flange, encoder ring, and mounting flange come as one Generation 3 hub bearing unit (HBU) for three reasons:
- Sensor integrity. The encoder ring is molded into the bearing seal. Pressing out an old bearing damages the encoder and leaves ABS and traction control inoperative.
- Preload precision. Factory units are preloaded under cleanroom conditions. Field pressing adds raceway brinelling that cuts service life by up to 60%.
- Cost efficiency. A complete hub swap runs 0.8–1.2 hours per side versus 2.5+ hours for a bearing press.
Koeep also stocks related sensors for these same cars — the Oil Pressure Sensor / Switch 68145662AA for Chrysler 200 15–16 and Dodge Dart 13–16 and the Oil Pressure Sensor 68145662AA for Chrysler 200 2015–2016 and Dodge Dart 2013–2016 — so you can pull several parts in one order.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my Dodge Dart or Chrysler 200 needs a new front hub bearing?
Watch for three signs: a rotational hum that changes with speed and shifts pitch when you steer gently, an ABS or traction control light with codes such as C0035 or C0040, and a loose wheel when jacked up. Grasp the wheel at 12 and 6 o'clock and rock it — any play means bearing wear.
Is the ABS sensor included with the Koeep assembly?
Yes. It is a complete Generation 3 unit with the magnetic encoder ring and the sensor connector harness already installed. There is no separate sensor to buy and nothing to calibrate — it plugs straight into the factory ABS module.
Should I replace one hub or both at once?
You can replace only the failed side; hubs are not wear-matched in pairs. These bearings typically last 80,000–120,000 miles. If both sides carry similar mileage and one has failed, the other often follows within 10,000–15,000 miles. Many technicians do both to avoid paying for the same labor twice.
How long should a replacement hub bearing last?
With correct torque and clean mating surfaces, expect 80,000–120,000 miles — matching or beating the original unit. The triple-lip fluoroelastomer seal and synthetic grease pack resist water and heat better than older designs. In heavy road-salt regions, inspect the hubs at every brake service.
Will this fit both the Dart and the 200 without modification?
Yes. Both cars ride on the Compact U.S. Wide (CUSW) platform, so knuckle geometry, bolt pattern, spline count, and the ABS connector match across Dodge Dart (2013–2016) and Chrysler 200 (2015–2017) FWD models. No spacers or adapters needed. It is a FWD-only part — it does not fit AWD variants.
Why can't I just press in a new bearing instead?
Because the encoder ring is molded into the bearing seal, pressing the old bearing out usually wrecks the encoder and disables ABS and traction control. Field pressing also adds raceway damage that shortens service life by up to 60%, and it turns a 0.8–1.2 hour job into 2.5+ hours of shop time.
Ready to restore steering precision and ABS function?
Bolt in the pre-assembled hub, torque to spec, clear the codes, and drive.
