The short version
- The LS400 wheel bearing chart is a press-in story at both ends.
- Fronts: the 510017 ball bearing for 1990 to 1997, then 510071 for 1998 to 2000, behind the 1941 seal.
- The rear runs the pressed 511007 with seals 1928 and 1935, shared with the SC coupes.
- Nothing carries over to the LS430 that followed.
The car that launched Lexus was engineered like a Mercedes and serviced like one too: pressed bearings all around, seals sold separately, and a parts chart shared with the SC300 and SC400 coupes.
The two-era front
The front LS400 wheel bearing is the 510017 press-in through 1997, switching to 510071 for the 1998 to 2000 facelift cars, both behind the 1941 seal.
Two catalogs agree on the split year.

Press work everywhere
Both ends press into their carriers, which makes any LS400 bearing job a shop visit or a serious bench session, per the press-in page.
Budget the labor; the bearings themselves stay cheap.
The SC connection
The SC300 and SC400 coupes share the front seal-and-bearing pairs and the 511007 rear, which keeps three low-volume classics supplied from one shelf. The successor’s simpler chart is on the LS430 page, and the make overview on the Lexus page.
Thirty-year-old luxury
Surviving LS400s carry heroic mileage, and their legendary silence hides an early hum like the later cars do. Trust the weave test over the quiet cabin, per the checking page.
Diagnosing an LS400 wheel bearing
- Fix the model year; 1998 changed the front.
- Weave at speed and place the hum.
- Rock each wheel at twelve and six.
- Buy the seals with the bearing, always.
- Plan press work at either end.
Tire separation is on the tire noise page.
