Home › Vehicles › Porsche › Porsche 911
The short version
- The 911 wheel bearing up front is 513106 for the Carrera through 2004, a number that runs back through the 90s 911 family.
- The Turbo and GT cars jump to 513180 as early as 2001, the same number every Porsche sports car used from 2005 to 2009.
- The rear splits by drivetrain: AWD cars, Carrera 4, Targa 4 and Turbo, use 513136 from 1999 to 2009.
- Rear wheel drive 911s of the same years match the old part or the VIN instead of a shared number.
A 2003 Carrera and a 2003 Turbo do not take the same front 911 wheel bearing, and their rears diverge even further once all wheel drive enters the picture. The trim badge matters as much as the model year here.
The front splits by trim
The standard Carrera runs the 911 wheel bearing 513106 up front from the 90s through 2004.
The Turbo and GT cars switch to 513180 as early as 2001, the same number every Porsche sports car adopted from 2005 to 2009.

Lookups run through the cross reference page.
A 996 or 997 owner who orders 513136 without confirming all wheel drive risks buying the wrong 911 wheel bearing entirely.
Carrera 4, Targa 4 and Turbo take 513136. A rear wheel drive Carrera of the same years does not; match its old part or the VIN.
Shared across the sports car range
513180 is not exclusive to the 911. It also covers the Boxster and Cayman once those cars reach 2005, and the Turbo and GT models pulled it in even earlier, a sharing pattern covered from the roadster side on the Boxster page.
Porsche’s older transaxle cars used a completely different, serviceable design, a contrast explained on the 944 page.
Press jobs, no exceptions
Every 911 wheel bearing on this chart presses into its carrier, front or rear, per the press-in page. Nothing here bolts on as a cartridge hub.
The make overview is on the Porsche page.
Diagnosing a 911 wheel bearing
- Identify the trim before pricing the front, since Turbo and GT split early from the Carrera.
- Check the driven wheels before ordering the rear.
- Weave at speed and place the hum by corner.
- Rock each wheel at twelve and six for play.
- Plan press work at whichever corner failed.
The full routine is on the checking page.
Common questions
Which 911 wheel bearing fits a 2003 Carrera front?
513106, the number that ran from the 90s through 2004 on standard Carreras.
Does my Turbo use the same front part?
No. Turbo and GT cars switched to 513180 as early as 2001, ahead of the rest of the range.
How do I know which rear I need?
Check whether the car is all wheel drive. Carrera 4, Targa 4 and Turbo use 513136; rear wheel drive cars match the old part or the VIN.
Do I need a press?
Yes, at every corner on every 911 covered here. There is no bolt-on hub in this chart.
Does the Boxster share the 911 wheel bearing?
The 2005 to 2009 front number, 513180, is shared. Confirm the model year before ordering.
