Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cap fit my standard press-in hub?

No. This cap is specifically designed for hubs with a 70mm internal thread. It will not work on standard smooth-bore press-in hubs.

What are the benefits of an aluminium dust cap?

Aluminium does not rust. It provides a cleaner aesthetic, reduces the risk of cross-threading, and withstands harsh marine environments.

Does it include a rubber O-ring?

Most standard installations require an O-ring for a completely watertight seal. Please check if your specific hub profile requires a separate seal. The seal is not supplied with this cap.

Customer Reviews

★★★★★ “Perfect Fit for Off-Road Hubs” – Mark T.

Swapped out my old rusted steel caps for these. The aluminium threads went in smoothly, and greasing the bearings is now a 30-second job.

★★★★★ “Excellent Quality” – Sarah M.

Highly recommend for boat trailers. Absolute lifesaver against saltwater corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions: Genuine 70mm Aluminium Screw-In Dust Caps

What are the main advantages of using a genuine 70mm aluminium screw-in dust cap?Genuine aluminium caps feature precision-machined threads that ensure a perfect, airtight seal, keeping grease in and contaminants out. Their high-grade aluminium construction offers exceptional corrosion resistance in harsh marine or highway environments, preventing thread galling and extending bearing life.
What are the disadvantages of using non-genuine or universal 70mm dust caps?Non-genuine alternatives often have poor thread tolerances, leading to cross-threading, loose fits, or vibration-induced loss on the road. Lower-quality alloys or plastics degrade quickly under UV and temperature stress, exposing your bearings to water, salt, and road grit.
Will a non-genuine cap save me money in the long run?While a non-genuine cap may cost slightly less upfront, a loose or failed cap lets water contaminate your hub grease. This can quickly lead to bearing failure, ruined spindles, and expensive roadside breakdowns, making non-genuine options a high financial risk.

Genuine vs. Non-Genuine 70mm Screw Dust Caps

Performance Factors	Genuine 70mm Aluminium Screw Cap	Non-Genuine / Aftermarket Cap
Thread Precision	CNC-machined for a secure, vibration-proof lock.	Poor tolerances; highly prone to cross-threading.
Material Quality	Marine-grade, high-strength anodised aluminium.	Low-grade cast alloy or brittle plastics.
Hub Protection	Complete barrier against water, dust, and salt grit.	High risk of leaks that can cause premature bearing failure.
Value Over Time	Invest once; eliminates costly hub and axle rebuilds.	Cheap upfront, but risks expensive roadside damage.
