The short version
- The 2014 Ram 1500 wheel bearing answer starts at 515126, the reference number for most of the 2009-2018 generation.
- Early 2009 trucks split by build date. 515113 covers trucks built through December 7, 2008, and 515126 covers trucks built from December 8, 2008 on.
- 2010 trucks use 515126 with no split. 2011-2018 are not separately documented, so 515126 is the closest reference for matching the old part.
- The rear rides on a solid axle, not a hub bearing. That work falls under axle bearing service, not this page.
The 2009-2018 Ram 1500 looks like one long generation from the outside. But the front hub number changes twice before the truck settles down. A single 2009 model year can carry either of two different hubs.
This page runs the 2014 Ram 1500 wheel bearing number alongside every other year in the 2009-2018 range. The build date trap only touches the first year.
The number to know
Trucks built from December 8, 2008 onward use it. So does every 2010 model. Earlier 2009 trucks use 515113 instead.
2011-2018 trucks are not separately listed in the catalogs. 515126 is the number to match against the old part or the VIN.

This page covers the 2009-2018 Ram 1500: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018. Other years live on the main Ram 1500 wheel bearing page.
The 2009 Ram 1500 splits by build date, not by anything visible on the truck. A truck built in November 2008 takes 515113. One built in January 2009 takes 515126.
Check the build date on the door jamb sticker before ordering. Two trucks with the same model year can need different hubs.
Year by year
2009 is the split year. Trucks built up to December 7, 2008 use 515113. Trucks built from December 8, 2008 use 515126, and the build date decides it, not the sale date.
2010 settles onto 515126 with no further split. The 2014 Ram 1500 wheel bearing question, and every year from 2011 through 2018, is not separately documented. Those orders match against 515126 as the closest reference.
How this generation fits with the rest of the Ram 1500 line
This truck gets its own page here because the front hub numbers do not carry over from the years around it. The 2002-2008 Ram 1500 runs on its own numbers, covered on the 2002-2008 page. The 1994-2001 trucks sit further back on the 1994-2001 page.
Across all three generations the rear stays a solid axle setup. Rear service is axle bearing work, not a wheel bearing hub swap.
Diagnosing a Ram 1500 wheel bearing
- Listen for noise that changes with speed. A worn front hub usually gets louder as road speed climbs. It often shifts pitch when you ease off the throttle.
- Turn the wheel side to side at low speed. A bearing that roars more in one direction points to that side, the pattern covered in this guide.
- Rule out the tires first. Cupped or uneven tread makes a similar drone. Compare tire wear before condemning a hub, as covered in this comparison.
- Check for play with the wheel off the ground. Grab the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock and rock it. Looseness in the hub confirms a failing bearing, following the standard check.
- Watch the ABS light. A damaged tone ring inside the hub can trip an ABS fault before any noise shows up. Check that too before ruling bearings out.
The 2019 Ram 1500 Classic is this truck, not the redesigned one. For 2019 the previous body stayed on sale beside the new one, badged Ram 1500 Classic. The catalogs list it separately from the redesign.
The Classic front hub is WE61804, the same number the catalogs give this truck from 2012 to 2018, so nothing about the job changes. The redesigned 2019 truck is not documented, so match the old part or the VIN there.
Common questions
What is the 2014 Ram 1500 wheel bearing part number?
The reference for a 2014 Ram 1500 is front hub 515126. That year is not separately documented in the catalogs. 515126 is the reference number to match against the old part or confirm by VIN.
What wheel bearing does a 2009 Ram 1500 use?
It depends on the build date. A 2009 Ram 1500 built through December 7, 2008 uses 515113. One built from December 8, 2008 onward uses 515126.
Is the front hub the same on every 2009-2018 Ram 1500?
No. The 2009 model year alone splits by build date between 515113 and 515126, and 2010 settles on 515126. 2011-2018 are not separately documented, so they get matched against 515126 too.
Does the 2009-2018 Ram 1500 have a rear wheel bearing?
The rear rides on a solid axle, not a bolt-on hub. There is no rear wheel bearing part number on this generation, and that work falls under axle bearing service instead.
How do I find the build date on a 2009 Ram 1500?
The build date is printed on the certification label inside the driver door jamb, separate from the model year. That date decides which hub the truck takes, not the sale date or the VIN’s model year digit.
