This page covers the 2012-2015 Honda Civic: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015. Other years live on the main Civic wheel bearing page.
A 2012 Honda Civic wheel bearing rear for a DX or LX depends on where the car was built. Canada-built cars use 512451; USA-built cars use 512502. Both numbers are valid, but only one matches a given car.
From 2013 to 2015, the LX, DX, and HF rear appears in the catalogs under two numbers, 512503 and 512504, as parallel listings. Match the number on the old part rather than picking either one at random.
Year by year
The 2012 Honda Civic wheel bearing chart carries five rear rows, more than any other year in this range. EX, EX-L, HF, and Si use 512450. DX and LX split by build country into 512451 or 512502, and GX, hybrid, and natural gas models use 512322.
2013 through 2015 simplify to two families. EX, EX-L, SE, and Si continue on 512450. LX, DX, and HF move to 512503, with 512504 as a parallel listing for the same cars.
The ninth-generation Civic rear chart
The 2012-2015 Civic is the only generation on this site where the rear bearing, not the front, carries the trim and build-country splits. The 2006-2011 Civic page shows that split on the front instead. The 2016-2021 Civic page shows a generation where only one rear number is documented at all.
The front bearing on the 2012-2015 Civic is a press-in ball design, but the catalogs do not document a part number for it in this range.
Diagnosing a 2012-2015 Civic wheel bearing
- Listen for rear hum that shifts with turns. A worn rear bearing on this Civic hums or drones, and the pitch often changes when the car turns. Compare the sound on both sides.
- Check for play with the wheel raised. Grip the rear tire at the top and bottom and rock it firmly. Movement in the hub points to the bearing.
- Rule out brake and suspension noise. Worn pads, a warped rotor, or loose bushings can mimic bearing noise. Inspect these before removing the hub.
- Confirm trim and build country for a 2012 rear order. DX and LX need the build country checked; other trims only need the trim confirmed. Use the hub assembly and ABS sensor page if an ABS light is also present.
- Match the old front bearing before ordering. Since the front is not documented for this generation, bring the removed part to a parts counter or confirm the exact fit by VIN. Do not guess from trim alone.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2012 Honda Civic use?
A 2012 Honda Civic wheel bearing rear depends on trim and, for DX and LX, on build country. EX, EX-L, HF, and Si use 512450; DX and LX use 512451, Canada-built, or 512502, USA-built; GX, hybrid, and natural gas use 512322.
What wheel bearing does a 2014 Honda Civic use?
A 2014 Civic rear uses 512450 for EX, EX-L, SE, and Si, or 512503 for LX, DX, and HF. The number 512504 also appears as a parallel listing for the LX, DX, and HF row.
Why does the 2012 Civic rear split by build country?
The catalogs list separate rear numbers for Canada-built and USA-built DX and LX cars in 2012 without explaining the reason. Confirm which plant built the car before ordering.
Should I order 512503 or 512504 for a 2014 LX rear?
Both are parallel listings for the same LX, DX, and HF rear position. Match the number stamped on the old part rather than choosing between them.
Is the front bearing documented for the 2012-2015 Civic?
No. The catalogs do not list a front part number for this generation. Match the old part or confirm the correct bearing by VIN.
