The short version
- Mitsubishi Galant wheel bearing parts are bolt on at every corner. This chart covers 1996 through 2012.
- 513219 covers the 3.8L V6 and every 2009 to 2012 engine. 513157 covers the 2.4L and the earlier 5-lug car, and HA590240 covers the 4-stud front through 2003.
- Rear number depends on ABS across nearly the whole run. 512274 comes with ABS on the newer cars, and WE61382, WE60807 or HA590306 cover the 1996 to 2003 rear.
- Timken’s book splits the 2004 to 2008 V6 front differently than the other line does. Match your application and the old part rather than assuming one number is wrong.
Mitsubishi sold the Galant across two very different generations on this chart. An eighth generation car runs through 2003, and a ninth generation car runs from 2004 through 2012.
Two engines, two stud patterns and a mid run refresh leave the parts catalog more tangled than the body style suggests. Front numbers depend on engine, stud count and year in ways that trip up a quick search.
Galant wheel bearing numbers at a glance
The most common Galant front number is 513219. It covers the 3.8L V6 from 2007 to 2008 and every engine from 2009 to 2012.
Earlier 2.4L cars, 2004 to 2008, use a different front number, 513157. That same number also covers the 5-lug front on the 1999 to 2003 car, and the rear splits by ABS for most of this run before settling on one number for 2009 to 2012.
The 4-stud and 5-lug front split
The 1996 to 2003 Galant front splits by wheel stud pattern. A 4-stud wheel takes HA590240.
The 5-lug car, sold 1999 to 2003, takes 513157 instead, the same number that later covers the 2004 to 2008 2.4L front. Count the studs before ordering a front hub on a car this old.
A parts counter that only asks for the engine can still get the front wrong on a 1996 to 1998 car. The 5-lug number does not start until 1999.

Every model year this chart resolves: 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
One catalog lists the 3.8L V6 front as 513219 for 2007 to 2008. The same number is used from 2009 on.
Another catalog splits that same V6 differently: HA590108 for 2004 to 2006, HA590177 for 2007 to 2008. These are different lines describing the same corner, not a typo, so match your application and the old part in hand.
Shared with other Mitsubishi models
Front hub 513219 is not exclusive to the Galant. Mitsubishi reused the same part on other models from the same era, a common pattern across the brand’s lineup of that period.
The rear hub, by contrast, stays specific to the Galant. It also depends on whether the trim has ABS, so checking the brake system before ordering saves a mismatched part.
That kind of reuse cuts both ways at a parts counter. A number that looks right for the Galant can also be sitting in a bin labeled for a different Mitsubishi entirely.
All bolt on, no press job
Every corner on the Galant, front and rear, bolts on as a complete hub across this entire range. There is no press-in bearing anywhere on this chart.
That keeps labor time down once you have the right number. High mileage cars that have taken a lot of pothole damage tend to show wear first at the front.
Diagnosing a Mitsubishi Galant wheel bearing
- Identify the engine and stud count. A 2.4L and a 3.8L V6 Galant from the same year can need different front numbers, and the 1996 to 2003 car splits again by stud pattern.
- Listen for a hum. A failing bearing produces a drone that changes pitch with road speed, not with the engine.
- Check for ABS. Nearly every rear year on this chart changes number with the presence of ABS.
- Rock the wheel. With the tire off the ground, check for play at 12 and 6 o’clock.
- Cross check the old part. Compare the number stamped on the old bearing against more than one catalog before buying.
Those checks run alongside the checking page. A grind that changes with a turn is worth reading against the tire noise page, and the front versus rear page covers how the two ends differ.

Common questions
What is the Galant wheel bearing front number for a V6?
It depends on the years and which catalog you use. One line lists 513219 for the 3.8L V6 in 2007 to 2008, the same number used from 2009 on. Another splits that span into HA590108 for 2004 to 2006 and HA590177 for 2007 to 2008.
Does the front number change for the 2.4L engine?
Yes. The 2.4L Galant, 2004 to 2008, uses front number 513157, the same number that covers the 5-lug 1999 to 2003 front. From 2009 on, every Galant engine moves to 513219 regardless of displacement.
What is the 4-stud versus 5-lug front split?
On the 1996 to 2003 car, a 4-stud wheel takes HA590240. The 5-lug car, sold from 1999 to 2003, takes 513157 instead. Count the studs before ordering, since the engine alone does not decide it on these years.
Is the rear Galant wheel bearing the same with or without ABS?
No, across nearly the whole run. The 1996 to 2003 rear runs WE61382 or WE60807, with 512136 for non-ABS cars from 1997 and HA590306 for ABS cars built from March 1996.
The 2004 to 2008 rear splits 512274 with ABS against 512275 without. From 2009 to 2012, every rear uses 512274 regardless of ABS.
Are all Galant wheel bearing parts bolt on hubs?
Yes, front and rear, across the whole 1996 to 2012 run covered here. There is no press-in bearing on this car. Replacement is a hub swap at every corner.
