Home › Vehicles › Volvo › Volvo S70 Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- The 1998 Volvo S70 wheel bearing front number is HA594181, the same hub the 1994-1997 850 used.
- 1999 and 2000 S70 models switch to 513175, a row shared with the Volvo C70.
- No clean rear row exists for the S70; match the old part or the VIN using the 850 or V70 charts.
- The S70 name change in 1998 did not bring a new front hub with it, only a new nameplate.
Volvo renamed the 850 to S70 for 1998, but the parts bin did not get the memo right away. The first year’s front hub is the same number the outgoing 850 used, carried over under a new badge.
The S70’s front bearing numbers
The 1998 Volvo S70 wheel bearing front number, identical to the hub used on the 1994 through 1997 850.
513175 replaces it for 1999 and 2000, a row the S70 shares with the Volvo C70.

Lookups run through the cross reference page.
Volvo’s 1998 S70 launched with the same front hub number the 1994-1997 850 used, HA594181. That is not a coincidence; the platform carried straight through the rename.
Buyers should not assume that number continues past 1998. The catalogs move to 513175 starting in 1999, with no overlap year.
Family ties: the 850 and the C70
The S70’s roots run straight back to the Volvo 850, whose own page carries the HA594181 number for its final years. The C70 coupe and convertible share the 513175 row with the 1999 and 2000 S70, since both came off the same platform in the same era.
The wagon version of this same generation runs through Volvo’s V70 page rather than the S70’s own chart.
Why the rear has no clean number
The catalogs never settled on a dedicated S70 rear row the way they did for the front. Owners chasing a rear bearing should pull the old part and match it, or cross check against the 850 and V70 charts where the platform overlap is documented.
Guessing at a rear number from the front’s pattern is not reliable, since Volvo split front and rear sourcing differently across this platform. Other Volvo sedans from the same era are listed on the Volvo hub.
Diagnosing a Volvo S70 wheel bearing
- Listen for a load-sensitive drone. A worn Volvo S70 wheel bearing typically produces a hum that grows louder with speed and shifts under cornering.
- Confirm the model year before ordering the front. A 1998 car needs HA594181, while 1999 and 2000 cars need 513175.
- Check the 850 and V70 charts for the rear. With no dedicated S70 rear row, those pages document the same platform’s rear hardware.
- Rock the wheel to check for play. With the car safely raised, grab the tire top and bottom and check for looseness.
- Match the old part when in doubt. Pull the failed bearing’s stamped number and cross reference it rather than assuming continuity across the rename.
