The short version
- The 2006 F150 wheel bearing hub is 515079 for 6-stud trucks, or 515080 for 7-stud trucks. The same numbers run from late 2005 through 2008.
- Earlier 2004 and early-build 2005 trucks use 515046 and 515047 instead. The split falls at a build date of November 29, 2004.
- 2WD trucks in this generation keep a tapered front set, SET930, unlike the bolt-on 4WD hubs.
- The rear axle uses the 9.75 inch ring gear bearing R1561TV with seal 100357, across the whole 2004-2008 span.
The 2004 through 2008 Ford F-150 introduced a new body. It also brought a new set of 4WD hub numbers that split partway through 2005. A 2006 F150 wheel bearing order is simple, 515079 or 515080 by stud count.

This page covers the 2004-2008 Ford F-150: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008. Other years live on the main F-150 wheel bearing page.
2005 is a split year, not a clean one. Trucks built through November 28, 2004 keep the 2004 numbers, 515046 and 515047.
Trucks built from November 29, 2004 on switch to 515079 and 515080. Check the door jamb sticker before ordering.
Year by year
2004 is a dual-truck year. The redesigned F-150 uses 515046 for 6-stud trucks and 515047 for 7-stud trucks. The outgoing previous-generation truck, sold alongside it as the Heritage, keeps its own separate hardware.
2005 splits by build date, not by any visible trim difference. Trucks built to November 28, 2004 carry the 2004 numbers. Trucks built from November 29, 2004 on move to 515079 and 515080.
2006 through 2008 are stable. A 2006 F150 wheel bearing order and a 2008 order use the identical 515079 or 515080 hub. Nothing changes again through the end of this generation.
A new body, and an old one sold alongside it
Ford redesigned the F-150 for 2004 but kept selling the outgoing truck as the F-150 Heritage that same year. The Heritage carries the older generation’s hardware, covered on the 1997-2003 F-150 wheel bearing page, not the numbers here.
This generation ran through 2008. Another redesign then changed the hub numbers again, covered on the 2009-2014 F-150 wheel bearing page.
Diagnosing a 2004-2008 F-150 wheel bearing
- Check your build date if the truck is a 2004 or 2005. The door jamb sticker gives the exact date. That decides between the 515046/515047 pair and the 515079/515080 pair.
- Confirm stud count before ordering. Six-stud and seven-stud trucks take different hubs at every point in this generation.
- Jack up the wheel and check for play. A bolt-on hub with any looseness is worn out, not adjustable. See how to check a wheel bearing.
- Listen for the hum in turns. A failing hub typically gets louder cornering one direction. This is covered on wheel bearing noise in turns.
- Rule out the tires and the axle. Tire wear can sound like a bad bearing at speed, see tire noise or wheel bearing. On the rear, it can be hard to tell a wheel bearing from an axle bearing, covered on axle bearing vs wheel bearing.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2006 F-150 use?
A 2006 F150 wheel bearing hub is 515079 for a 6-stud truck, or 515080 for a 7-stud truck. Timken’s parallel listings for the same trucks are SP550207 and SP550208.
What wheel bearing does a 2004 F-150 use?
A 2004 F-150, the first year of this redesigned body, uses hub 515046 on 6-stud trucks or 515047 on 7-stud trucks. This differs from the Heritage model sold the same year, which uses the older generation’s hardware.
How do I know which 2005 F-150 wheel bearing number I need?
Check the build date on the door jamb sticker. Trucks built to November 28, 2004 use 515046 or 515047. Trucks built from November 29, 2004 on use 515079 or 515080.
Does the 2WD F-150 use the same hub as the 4WD?
No. 2WD trucks in this generation use a serviceable tapered set, SET930, rather than the bolt-on hubs fitted to 4WD trucks.
What is the F-150 Heritage and does it use these numbers?
The Heritage is the outgoing previous-generation F-150 that Ford kept selling through 2004 alongside the redesigned truck. It uses the older generation’s hardware, not the numbers here. Match old part or VIN if unsure which truck is which.
