The short version
- The 2012 F150 wheel bearing on a 6-stud 4×4 is 515142 or 515166. The split is ABS sensor cord length, 38 inches or 40.75 inches.
- 7-stud 4×4 trucks from 2011-2014 use a single number, 513326, with no cord-length split.
- 2WD 6-stud trucks from 2011-2014 use 515143, a different number from any of the 4WD hubs.
- 2009-2010 trucks use an earlier number set, 515117 through 515119, before the cord-length split existed.
The 2009 through 2014 Ford F-150 covers six model years. A 2011 running change split the front hub numbers in two. A 2012 F150 wheel bearing order on a 4×4 six-stud truck needs the ABS cord length measured, not just the stud count.

This page covers the 2009-2014 Ford F-150: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. Other years live on the main F-150 wheel bearing page.
On 2011-2014 four-wheel-drive trucks with six studs, ABS cord length decides the hub number. Nothing visible from outside tells you which. 515142 takes a 38 inch cord and 515166 takes a 40.75 inch cord.
Year by year
2009 is an early-build year as much as a model year. Trucks built from July 23, 2008 belong to this generation. Timken’s SP550214, SP550215, and SP550216 are parallel listings across the same lineup.
2010 carries the same numbers as 2009, with one addition. The SVT Raptor gets its own front hub, 515112, separate from the standard truck.
2011 through 2014 move to a new number family. A 2012 F150 wheel bearing order on a six-stud 4×4 is 515142 or 515166, by ABS cord length. Seven-stud 4×4 trucks use 513326, and 2WD six-stud trucks use 515143.
A running change mid-generation
This F-150 carried its body through 2014 but changed the front hub lineup in 2011. That split six-stud 4×4 trucks by ABS cord length for the first time. The generation before it, covered on the 2004-2008 F-150 wheel bearing page, split by build date instead.
The next generation moved to an aluminum body and its own numbers, covered on the 2015-2020 F-150 wheel bearing page.
Diagnosing a 2009-2014 F-150 wheel bearing
- Measure the ABS sensor cord before ordering. On six-stud 4×4 trucks from 2011 to 2014, cord length alone separates 515142 from 515166.
- Confirm stud count and drive type. Six-stud, seven-stud, 2WD, and 4WD all take different hubs. See drive type and wheel bearings.
- Jack up the wheel and check for play. Any looseness in this generation’s bolt-on hub means replacement. See how to check a wheel bearing.
- Listen for the hum and watch the ABS light. A failing hub can trip the ABS light as its sensor degrades. See a bad bearing and the ABS light.
- Rule out tire noise before condemning the hub. Uneven tire wear mimics a bearing hum at highway speed. See tire noise or wheel bearing.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2012 F-150 use?
A 2012 F150 wheel bearing on a six-stud 4×4 truck is 515142 with a 38 inch ABS cord, or 515166 with a 40.75 inch cord. A seven-stud 4×4 uses 513326. A 2WD six-stud truck uses 515143.
What wheel bearing does a 2009 F-150 use?
A 2009 F-150 uses 515117 or 515118 on a 2WD truck, and 515119 or 515118 on a 4WD truck, split by stud count. Trucks built from July 23, 2008 fall into this generation rather than the one before it.
How do I measure the ABS sensor cord length?
Trace the wire from the hub to its connector and measure the length. 515142 fits a 38 inch cord and 515166 fits a 40.75 inch cord. This only applies to six-stud 4×4 trucks from 2011 through 2014.

No. The 2010 Raptor uses its own front hub, 515112, separate from the numbers used on the standard truck that year.
Does the seven-stud 4×4 hub split by cord length too?
No. The seven-stud 4WD hub for 2011 through 2014, 513326, is a single number with no cord-length split.
