Data review / Wheel-end sourcing

ARP Sourcing Lab

Keep fitment, quotation and document records connected at the SKU level, from the OE cross reference through the buyer's release decision.

Evidence to compare before ordering

Supplier-provided

Cross-reference record

Carry the OE number, vehicle or VIN and drawing revision on each quoted line. The same cross reference can lead to different hub flange or ABS encoder ring configurations. Confirm encoder side, pole count where applicable, and wheel speed sensor interface on the proposed part.

Third-party

Sample check

For a ring sample, record the marked SKU and lot, verify the drawing datum, measure the inner and outer diameters at multiple positions, and record chamfer, depth and seating on the specified interfaces. On a nominal 66.6 mm to 57.1 mm ring, compare 66.6 mm to the wheel center bore and 57.1 mm to the hub pilot. Use the agreed drawing tolerances to assess the measured sample. Agree on tolerance and instruments before inspection.

Supplier-provided

Document scope

Request site, issuer, product or SKU, revision, market and validity. An ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 record belongs with supplier-system evidence. Review product-specific evidence separately against the applicable SKU and market requirements.

Buyer-approved

Stock or custom specification

Use a stock profile when center bore, hub pilot, depth and chamfer match. A custom profile accommodates a missing geometry and adds a drawing release, sample review and possibly tooling.

Buyer-approved

Integrated or serviceable hub

An integrated unit can reduce variation in field assembly. Serviceable bearings offer separate replacement where the platform supports it. Check bearing bore, outer diameter, width, bearing preload, seal lip, encoder orientation and service tooling.

Supplier-provided

Quotation scope

Record unit of sale, pack count, MOQ, lead-time basis, Incoterm and named place. A single supplier can simplify packing and documentation. Split sourcing can cover more SKUs and requires carton and lot records to map to each approved revision.

From brief to shipment

01

Clarify

Record vehicle or application, specification, quantity, market and port. Mark missing inputs as open.

02

Compare

Normalize offers by part revision, material, package and trade term before comparing line costs.

03

Verify

Carry a sample or inspection result to the exact quoted SKU. Log deviations for buyer disposition.

04

Coordinate

Match the packing list to carton marks and lot references, then confirm shipment responsibilities.
