The short version
- The 2007 Chevy Silverado wheel bearing chart for the new body is short: front hub 515096 on 4WD trucks, 515097 on 2WD trucks, covering all of 2007 through 2013.
- There is no wheel size split and no HD branch on this generation’s documented rows. Drivetrain is the only decision at the front.
- The rear is a solid axle across the whole range. There is no rear hub assembly to order.
- 2007 was built twice. This chart is for the redesigned new-body truck only, not the carryover Classic.
GM redesigned the Silverado 1500 for 2007, and that new body ran through 2013 with no changes to the front hub numbers. A 2007 Chevy Silverado wheel bearing order on this generation is simple once you confirm two things: drivetrain, and which 2007 body the truck actually has.

This page covers the 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado 1500: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013. Other years live on the main Silverado wheel bearing page.
2007 was built twice. The Classic, GM’s carryover of the old 1999-2006 body, uses different hubs entirely: 515054, 515071, or 515036 depending on wheel size and drivetrain.
Those Classic numbers live on the 1999-2006 Silverado page. The two part sets do not cross, so identify the body before ordering.
Year by year
2007 itself needs a body check first. A new-body 2007 Chevy Silverado wheel bearing order uses 515096 or 515097, while a Classic 2007 uses the older numbers instead.
2008 through 2013 have no such split. Every truck in that span is the new body, so the choice comes down to 4WD or 2WD alone.
Nothing else changes across these seven years. No wheel size branch and no HD row appear in the documented rows for this generation.
A clean generation after a messy launch year
Once the 2007 body question is settled, this generation is one of the simpler ones on the site. Two numbers cover every front hub from 2007 to 2013.
The rear stays a solid axle on every truck here, same as the previous generation. There is no rear hub part number to look up.
Diagnosing a 2007-2013 Silverado wheel bearing
- Check for play with the wheel off the ground. Grip the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock and rock it. The full method is on how to check a wheel bearing.
- Listen for a hum that changes in turns. A failing front hub often gets louder leaning one direction. See wheel bearing noise in turns for the pattern.
- Rule out tires before ordering a hub. Uneven wear can sound similar to bearing noise at speed. Compare against tire noise or wheel bearing.
- Confirm the drivetrain first. 515096 and 515097 are not interchangeable between 4WD and 2WD. See drive type and wheel bearings.
- Treat rear symptoms as an axle issue. These trucks have a solid rear axle, not a rear hub. Follow axle bearing versus wheel bearing instead.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2007 Chevy Silverado use?
It depends which 2007 truck it is. A new-body 2007 Chevy Silverado wheel bearing order uses 515096 for 4WD or 515097 for 2WD. A Classic 2007 uses the older 1999-2006 numbers instead.
What wheel bearing does a 2010 Chevy Silverado use?
A 2010 Silverado uses 515096 on 4WD or 515097 on 2WD. There is no Classic question by this point, since the old body stopped after 2007.
How do I tell a Classic 2007 Silverado from the new body?
The Classic keeps the previous generation’s sheet metal and interior, while the redesigned truck has a new cab and front end. When in doubt, match the part number on the old hub rather than guessing by year alone.
Is the rear wheel bearing on a 2007-2013 Silverado a hub assembly?
No. The rear axle on this generation is a solid axle, the same setup as the previous generation. There is no rear hub part number on this page.
Does the Silverado wheel bearing number change between 2WD and 4WD?
Yes. 4WD trucks use 515096 and 2WD trucks use 515097 for the entire 2007-2013 run. There is no year-by-year change within either drivetrain.
