The short version
- An Oldsmobile wheel bearing is a GM corporate part wearing the brand’s last badge, which keeps everything available.
- The Alero runs the Grand Am’s 513137 front and 512152 rear.
- The Intrigue catches GM’s famous 2001 sensor-clip split: steel clip 513121, plastic clip 513179.
- Bravada and Silhouette are TrailBlazer and Venture twins respectively.
Oldsmobile died in 2004 after a century, but its final cars were pure corporate GM underneath, and every bearing on this page outlived the brand by decades.
The last-generation chart
An Alero Oldsmobile wheel bearing order is the Grand Am’s; a Bravada’s is the TrailBlazer’s 513188; a Silhouette’s is the Venture’s, clip split included.
Search the living twin’s name and the parts appear at commodity prices.

Diagnosing an Oldsmobile wheel bearing
- Name the model, then its living twin.
- On a 2001 Intrigue, check the clip before ordering.
- Weave at speed and place the hum.
- Rock each wheel at twelve and six.
- Watch the dash, since these hubs carry their sensors.
The routine is on the checking page, dash behavior on the ABS light page.
Common questions
Which Oldsmobile wheel bearing fits my Alero?
513137 front, 512152 rear, the Grand Am’s exact chart.
My 2001 Intrigue: which front?
Check the sensor wire clip. Steel is 513121, plastic is 513179.
Are parts hard to find for a dead brand?
The opposite. Everything here is corporate GM hardware still in full production circulation.
Do I need a press?
No. These are bolt-on hubs throughout the final generation.
What about older Oldsmobiles?
The 1980s and earlier cars follow period GM listings; match by the old part on anything vintage.
