STEMCO’s Trifecta™ Pre-Adjusted Hub Assembly combines premiere STEMCO wheel end technologies with the trusted Webb® hub in a single, pre-adjusted assembly, ensuring a faster and more secure installation. Trifecta is currently available for truck and trailer—both P-type and N-type spindle—applications.
Top-of-the-line hub cap plug solutions protect lubricant integrity by preventing moisture and other contaminants from entering the hub assembly.
Defender Hub Cap is made from an ultra-durable, corrosion-free, composite material and is available with a permanently bonded, leak-proof window.
Self ratcheting feature prevents inadvertent back-offs, no clips, keepers or set screws to install.
No bearing adjustment needed, exceeds ABMA performance and durability standards.
Designed for optimized lube flow, reduces potential for fret corrosion.
Four-zone labyrinth and slinger provide unmatched contamination prevention. No pre-lube required with the new GlideLock™ lip, eliminating the industry’s #1 cause of seal failure.

The Trifecta Pre-Adjusted Hub Assembly combines STEMCO’s high performance Discover XR seal, the revolutionary Zip-Torq axle fastener, precision bearings, a spacer optimized for lubricant flow, and for steer axle applications, the Defender ESP hubcap is also included.
Pre-adjusted hubs eliminate the need for bearing adjustment. The precision manufactured bearings, spacer, and hub provide a fixed dimensional distance between the inner and outer bearings eliminating the need to manually adjust the bearings. A torque wrench must be used to set the axle fastener according to the pre-adjusted hub manufacturers recommended torque setting, with no backing off the nut.
Trifecta is currently available for the most popular truck and trailer applications. FF Steer, FL Steer, R Drive, P Trailer and N Trailer with iron hubs and drum brake configurations make up the available offerings at this time. Please contact your STEMCO sales representative or STEMCO technical support for assistance with cross reference.
The only tools needed are a torque wrench and socket. See the following table for socket sizes required with Zip-Torq and Trifecta.
