Home › Vehicles › Tesla › Tesla Model Y Wheel Bearing Part Numbers

The short version

  • A Tesla Model Y wheel bearing up front uses the same hardware as the Model 3. 1044122-00-E fits rear wheel drive cars, and 1044121-00-D fits all wheel drive cars.
  • The rear hub has no separate number in general circulation. It runs through Tesla’s own system by VIN.
  • This car is heavier than the Model 3 it shares a platform with. That extra weight loads the hub harder at every corner.
  • No aftermarket catalog carries this car yet. These numbers come straight from Tesla’s own listings.

Two cars, one front hub. The Model Y sits on the same platform as the Model 3, and the parts that carry the wheel did not need reinventing for the taller body.

The shared front hub

Same numbers as the Model 3, front axle

1044122-00-E covers the front hub on rear wheel drive cars. 1044121-00-D covers the front hub on all wheel drive cars.

Both are Tesla’s own part numbers, not entries from a Moog or Timken catalog. Neither has listed this car yet.

Heavier car, same front parts

The extra weight has to go somewhere

A Tesla Model Y wheel bearing at the front carries the same part number as the Model 3. But the car sitting on it weighs more.

No catalog publishes a shorter replacement interval for that reason. More weight means more steady load, not a documented earlier failure age.

Sharing a platform with the Model 3

The front hub carries over directly from the Model 3 page, where the same two Tesla numbers apply.

That kind of platform sharing is common once a manufacturer settles on a hub design that already handles the load.

Weight, torque and a quiet cabin

A heavier body and a low battery pack both push more constant load through a Tesla Model Y wheel bearing than a similar gasoline crossover carries. That is on the vehicle weight page.

Instant torque adds a step in load every time the car pulls away, rather than a gradual rise through a transmission.

Repair cost patterns for electric vehicles generally are on the electric and hybrid cost page.

Diagnosing a Tesla Model Y wheel bearing

  1. Weave at road speed and place any hum against the wheel, not the drive unit.
  2. Rock each wheel at twelve and six and feel for play.
  3. Compare hub temperature side to side after a drive.
  4. Match the VIN to the part before ordering either front number.
  5. Rule out tire and road noise first. A quiet cabin makes both stand out more than in a gas car.

The full routine is on the checking page and the noise page.

Common questions

What is the Tesla Model Y wheel bearing part number?

1044122-00-E on rear wheel drive cars, 1044121-00-D on all wheel drive cars. These are the same numbers used on the Model 3.

Is there a separate rear Tesla Model Y wheel bearing number?

Not one in general circulation. Match by VIN through Tesla’s own system.

Does the extra weight shorten a Tesla Model Y wheel bearing’s life?

No documented interval says so. More weight means more steady load, not a confirmed shorter lifespan.

Why does this share numbers with the Model 3?

Both cars sit on the same platform. The front hub carried over unchanged.

Do I need a press to replace one?

Not for the front. Both front numbers are complete bolt-on hub assemblies. Confirm the rear’s design through Tesla’s own listings when ordering by VIN.

About this page

Wheel Bearing Editorial Team The Wheel Bearing Editorial Team researches, builds and edits wheelbearing.net. Every part number on the site is transcribed from manufacturer and distributor catalogs (Moog, Timken, SKF, National, BCA/NTN) rather than generated, and every vehicle page is checked against the catalog rows before it goes live. When two catalogs disagree, the page shows both readings and tells you to match the old part or the VIN. More about how this site is built.
