The short version
- The Volvo C70 wheel bearing chart splits across two unrelated generations. They share almost no hardware.
- 1998 gen1 front bearing is HA594181. 1999 through 2004 switches to 513175, a number the C70 shares with the S70 sedan.
- Gen2 (2006-2013) front bearing carries two parallel numbers for 2006-09: Moog 513255 and Timken HA590323. Both are correct. Neither should be averaged away.
- Gen2 rear bearing is 512411 across the full 2006-2013 run.
Volvo used the C70 name twice. The two cars do not share a parts bin. The first ran 1998 through 2004 on the 850/S70 platform, and the second arrived in 2006 on the S40/V50 platform.
Volvo C70 wheel bearing quick reference
Most gen1 C70 front hubs use 513175. That part is also carried on the later S70 sedan.
Gen2 C70 fronts for 2006-09 show up under two brand numbers, Moog 513255 and Timken HA590323. Both are documented; neither corrects the other.

Lookups run through the cross reference page.
A C70 built in 2001 and a C70 built in 2009 share a name only. Confirm the build year first. The gen1 and gen2 charts do not cross reference each other.
Inside the gen2 front row, Moog’s 513255 and Timken’s HA590323 both cover 2006-09. Record both. Match to the brand already on the car rather than picking one at random.
Shared bones with the S70, S40, and V50
Gen1 C70 hardware traces back to the 850 derived platform. That is why 513175 also appears on the Volvo S70 parts chart. A shop servicing both cars can order once and cover both.
Gen2 C70 sits on the small platform Volvo shared with the S40 sedan and V50 wagon. The rear 512411 bearing lines up with what those two cars use in the same years.

Convertible duty on the gen1 C70
The gen1 C70 convertible carries extra chassis bracing that the coupe does not. That weight rides through the same front hub. Cars used hard, with frequent top cycling in traffic, tend to show wear sooner.
Diagnosing a Volvo C70 wheel bearing
- Listen for speed related noise. A worn bearing growls or hums, and the sound rises and falls with road speed rather than engine RPM.
- Jack up the corner and check for play. Grip the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock and rock it. Looseness with the brake released points to the bearing.
- Spin the wheel by hand. Grinding, clicking, or roughness felt through your grip is a bearing symptom, not a brake symptom.
- Check for ABS or traction control faults. Both C70 generations route wheel speed sensors through the bearing hub. A failing bearing can trip a light early.
- Confirm position and generation before ordering. Match the old part to the correct row above, especially on gen2 where two brand numbers exist.
Common questions
Do gen1 and gen2 Volvo C70 wheel bearing parts interchange?
No. The two generations sit on different platforms with different hub designs. Nothing in the catalogs treats them as interchangeable.
Why are there two part numbers for the 2006-09 C70 front bearing?
Moog and Timken each catalog the position under their own SKU, 513255 and HA590323. Both are valid parallel numbers, not a superseded pair.
What front bearing does a 2003 Volvo C70 use?
513175. It is the same number used from 1999 through 2004, and it is shared with the S70 sedan of the same years.
Is there a 2005 Volvo C70?
No. Production paused between the 2004 gen1 car and the 2006 gen2 car. There is no 2005 model year to chart.
Does the C70 rear bearing change across the gen2 run?
No. The documented rear number, 512411, covers the full 2006-2013 gen2 run without a mid cycle change.
