The short version
- This page covers the 2001-2005 Honda Civic, including the 2003 Honda Civic wheel bearing lookup: front 510030 for most trims, Si moves to 510050 in 2004-2005.
- Rear hubs split by trim: 512174 for DX/HX/LX, 512175 for EX and hybrid.
- The Si rear ABS hub changes number mid-run, HA590009 for 2002-2003 and HA590005 for 2004-2005.
- Two different Si specifications live inside this one generation, so the model year decides the Si rows.
Honda sold the Civic Si in two distinct specifications between 2001 and 2005, and the catalogs show separate part numbers for each. A 2003 Honda Civic wheel bearing lookup falls in the earlier Si window, before the 2004 change to both the front and rear Si numbers.
Core numbers for the 2001-2005 Civic
DX, EX, HX, and LX trims use front 510030 across the whole span, as does the hybrid from 2003 on. The Si uses 510030 through 2003, then moves to 510050 for 2004-2005.
Rear hubs split by trim first: 512174 for DX/HX/LX, 512175 for EX and hybrid. The Si with ABS uses its own hub, HA590009 through 2003 and HA590005 from 2004.

This page covers the 2001-2005 Honda Civic: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005. Other years live on the main Civic wheel bearing page.
A 2002 or 2003 Si with ABS uses rear hub HA590009. A 2004 or 2005 Si uses HA590005, along with the front bearing change from 510030 to 510050.
Ordering a 2003 Honda Civic wheel bearing rear hub for a 2004 or later Si will not match. Confirm the model year before ordering the Si rear.
Year by year
2001 sets the base rows: 510030 up front for every trim including the Si, 512174 for DX/HX/LX rears, and 512175 for the EX rear.
2002 and 2003 add the Si rear ABS hub HA590009. The 2003 Honda Civic wheel bearing front stays at 510030 for the Si during these years. The hybrid also arrives in 2003, on the same 510030 front and 512175 rear as the EX.
2004 and 2005 carry the Si change: front moves to 510050 and the rear ABS hub moves to HA590005. Every other trim’s rows continue unchanged from 2001.
One generation, two Si part number sets
The 2001-2005 Civic ran as a single generation, but the catalogs record two separate Si specifications inside it, 2001-2003 and 2004-2005. Everything outside the Si, meaning DX, EX, HX, LX, and hybrid, kept the same numbers across the whole span.
The earlier 1992-2000 Civic page shows a generation where trim decided the front bearing but the number never changed by year. The following 2006-2011 Civic page shows a generation where build country enters the decision instead of a mid-run number change.
Diagnosing a 2001-2005 Civic wheel bearing
- Listen for a hum that shifts with cornering. A worn bearing on this Civic produces a hum or drone that changes pitch as the car turns. Note which side gets louder in a left versus a right turn.
- Check wheel bearing noise when turning against tire and road noise. Tire wear and rough pavement can sound similar to a bearing at speed. Drive on a smooth, quiet road to isolate the sound.
- Rock the wheel to feel for play. With the wheel off the ground, grip it at the top and bottom and rock firmly. Play in the hub points to the bearing.
- Confirm the trim and model year before ordering. Si owners especially need the year, since the front and rear numbers both change in 2004. Base trims only need the trim, not the year.
- Watch for an ABS light on Si models. A worn Si rear hub can trigger an ABS fault since the hub carries the tone ring. Scan for codes to confirm before replacing the hub.

What wheel bearing does a 2004 Honda Civic Si use?
