Home › Vehicles › Audi › Audi S5 Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- Audi S5 wheel bearing parts have never been cataloged under the S5’s own name. Audi treats the S4 the same way.
- Every S5 routes through the A5 chart for its generation. The A5 chart is keyed to chassis code, not model year.
- B8 chassis S5 models, 2008-2017, take the B8 generation A5 numbers.
- B9 chassis S5 models, 2018 and later, should be matched to the old part or the VIN.
Audi never gave the S5 its own wheel bearing catalog entry. Counter staff pull the number from the A5 chart for the same generation. The chassis code decides which row applies, not the model year on the title.
Audi S5 wheel bearing quick reference
B8 chassis S5 cars, built 2008 through 2017, use the B8 generation A5 numbers.
B9 chassis S5 cars, 2018 and later, are not carried in the catalogs. Match the old part or confirm by VIN before ordering.
Audi S5 wheel bearing part numbers
| Years | Detail | Number |
|---|---|---|
| B9 chassis, 2018 and later | Front and rear, all trims | match old part or VIN |
| B8 chassis, 2008-2017 | Front and rear, all trims | match the A5 chart by chassis code |
No model year on this chart resolves to a catalog number. On this chart a 2018 or newer Audi S5 sits past the catalogs, and a 2008 through 2017 Audi S5 is not documented, so those cars go by the old part or the VIN.
Lookups run through the cross reference page.
Two S5 model years can sit on different chassis generations, depending on when Audi made the changeover. A year alone is not reliable. Get the chassis code, B8 or B9, off the door jamb or title first.
Audi S5 wheel bearing numbers never got their own catalog line. Always cross check against the Audi A5 page for the same generation.
The S4 follows the same pattern
Audi treats the Audi S4 the same way it treats the S5. There is no dedicated catalog entry, just a pointer to the equivalent A4 generation. Anyone used to sourcing S4 bearings will recognize the S5 routine.
The Audi A4 and A5 share a platform generation for generation. A shop with both charts on hand already has what an S4 or S5 job needs.

Why performance trims skip their own catalog line
Audi builds the S5 on the same body and hub hardware as the A5. It adds engine and suspension tuning, not a unique wheel bearing. Parts suppliers catalog by chassis platform instead of by badge, which is why the S5 name never earns its own row.
Diagnosing an Audi S5 wheel bearing
- Confirm the chassis code first. Check the door jamb sticker or decode the VIN for B8 or B9 before doing anything else.
- Listen for a speed related hum. A worn bearing on the S5 sounds the same as it does on the A5, growling louder as road speed rises.
- Check for play at 12 and 6 o’clock. Rock the wheel with the brake released; looseness points at the bearing.
- Pull the old bearing’s stamped number if one is legible. That number often confirms the correct A5 chart row fastest.
- Cross reference against the A5 page for the matching generation. Do not order from the S5 name alone since no such catalog line exists.
Common questions
Does the Audi S5 have its own wheel bearing part number?
No. It has never been cataloged separately. Every S5 uses the number listed for the same generation A5.
How do I find my Audi S5 chassis code?
Check the door jamb sticker or decode the VIN. B8 covers 2008 through 2017, and B9 covers 2018 and later.
What wheel bearing does a B9 Audi S5 use?
The B9 generation is not documented in the catalogs. Match the old part removed from the car, or confirm the correct number by VIN.
Does the Audi S4 work the same way as the S5?
Yes. Audi never gave the S4 its own catalog line either. Both performance models route through their standard siblings’ charts.
Can I just order by S5 model year instead of chassis code?
Not reliably. Chassis code, not model year, decides which A5 row applies. Quoting only the year risks the wrong generation.
