Rear wheel hubs need replacing
Hey gang,
So I purchased a set of SKF X-Tracker hubs recently, but they do not fit on the rear of my car. They are 33 spline and DO fit on the front.
2012 C6 Base model.
Called the vendor and let him know. He apologized and called SKF on my behalf..and evidently they don't make any for my car at all. 30 spline is what I need.
The C5 SKF hubs technically fit, but the electronics won't hook up and I won't have ABS..which I don't want to do.
So at this point, I have no option from SKF for rear hubs. Is there any aftermarket that does make them? Am I stuck with OEM...or just go to O'Reillys and have them sell me some?

You are correct, unfortunately SKF does not make an X-Tracker for the rear of '09-13 C6 base models.

Timken or Moog replacement hub bearings are most likely you best aftermarket replacement options.

Autozone has the same part number, but with the Moog brand
