The short version
- The 1990-1997 Honda Accord splits by engine and body. Front bearing 513098 fits four-cylinder cars; the V6, added in 1995, uses 510038, the number behind most 1995 Honda Accord wheel bearing searches.
- The 1990 EX sedan carries a unique front hub, HA594460K, instead of the module used on other 1990 trims.
- The rear bearing depends on body style, brake type, and engine. Numbers range from 512020 to 513081 across sedan, coupe, and wagon.
- Wagons use their own rear bearings: 512122 on drum brakes, 512032 on disc brakes.
The 1990-1997 Honda Accord covers two body generations on the same basic bearing layout. The biggest split arrives in 1995, once the V6 joins the lineup. A 1995 Honda Accord wheel bearing order needs the engine confirmed first.
1995 Honda Accord wheel bearing numbers
A 1995 Honda Accord wheel bearing is module 513098 on the base engine. It is 510038 once the car carries the V6.
Both are front-only numbers. The rear is a separate part, decided by body style and brakes.

This page covers the 1990-1997 Honda Accord: 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997. Other years live on the main Accord wheel bearing page.
Body style, brake type, and engine all move the rear number. Getting one wrong is the most common ordering mistake on this car.
A sedan and a wagon do not share a rear bearing. Neither do a drum car and a disc car from the same year.
Year by year
1990 and 1991 share front bearing 513098. The exception is the 1990 EX sedan, which uses front hub HA594460K instead. The rear is 513080 on drum brakes or 513081 on disc.
1992 and 1993 keep the same front numbers. No new front row appears, and the rear disc number for sedan and coupe stays at 513081.
1994 changes the rear disc number to 512020 for disc-equipped sedans and coupes. The drum number holds at 513080.
1995 through 1997 add the V6, moving the 1995 Honda Accord wheel bearing front number to 510038. Four-cylinder cars keep 513098. V6 cars also get their own rear disc number, 512172.
Wagons run on their own schedule. Drum-brake wagons use 512122 from 1991 to 1997, and disc-brake wagons use 512032 from 1991 to 1993.
How this generation connects to the Accord line
This span covers Honda’s fourth and fifth-generation Accord bodies. Both share the same basic bearing architecture even after the body panels changed in 1994. The numbers carried across that redesign more than they changed with it.
The next Accord generation moved to a simpler split, covered on the 1998-2002 Accord page. Matching a used bearing from a junkyard car works best once the drive layout is confirmed, a check explained on the drive type page.
Diagnosing a 1990-1997 Honda Accord wheel bearing
- Jack up the corner and rock the wheel at twelve and six o’clock. Feel for play the tire alone should not have.
- Spin the wheel by hand and listen for a grinding or rumbling texture, not a smooth roll.
- Drive at a steady speed and note whether the noise builds with speed and shifts in a turn. That pattern is covered on the turning noise page.
- Rule out the tires first on a car this age. Worn or cupped tires make a similar hum, detailed on the tire noise page.
- Confirm body style and brakes before ordering. The rear number depends on both, and a wrong guess means a return trip.

Is the front bearing on this generation a sealed press-in unit?
Yes. Both the 513098 and 510038 front numbers are complete bearing modules, not a serviceable tapered set, and there is no repacking step involved.
Why does the rear number change so often on this car?
Honda sold three rear body and brake combinations across this generation: sedan and coupe with drum, sedan and coupe with disc, and a separate wagon line. Each combination carries its own casting.
Does the wagon use the same rear bearing as the sedan?
No. The wagon runs 512122 on drum brakes or 512032 on disc brakes, both different from the sedan and coupe numbers above.
