Home › Vehicles › Chevy › Impala › 2000-2005 Chevy Impala Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- The 2004 Impala wheel bearing number at the front is hub 513179 with ABS. That number covers 2002 through 2004.
- 2000 has its own front ABS number, 513121. Cars without ABS use 513203 across the whole 2000-2005 span.
- 2001 and 2005 are trap years at the front. Both split mid-design or mid-package, so both get matched against the old part.
- Rear hubs follow ABS too: 512237 with ABS and 512221 without, both for 2002-2005. 2000-2001 rear drum brake cars use 513018 instead.
The 2000-2005 Chevy Impala changes its front hub number three separate times. Two of those changes happen inside a single model year. That makes 2001 and 2005 the years to slow down on.
A 2004 Impala wheel bearing order, by contrast, is one of the simpler years in this generation.
The number to know
It covers 2002 through 2004. Cars without ABS use 513203 for the entire 2000-2005 run instead.
2001 and 2005 do not get one clean front number. Both years split mid-year and need matching against the old part.

This page covers the 2000-2005 Chevy Impala: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005. Other years live on the main Chevy Impala wheel bearing page.
2001 changed the front ABS tone ring design partway through the model year. First a steel ring, then a plastic one. There is no single 2001 front number, so match the old part.
2005 splits a different way, by heavy-duty versus light-duty brake package. Match the old part there too rather than guessing between the two.
Year by year
2000 uses its own front ABS number, 513121, separate from every later year. Cars without ABS already use 513203, the number that carries through 2005.
2001 changes the tone ring design mid-year with no single documented number, so match the old part. A 2004 Impala wheel bearing order, along with 2002 and 2003, settles on front ABS hub 513179.
2005 splits by brake package instead, again a match-the-old-part year. Rear hubs follow the ABS or drum-brake rows across the whole span.
How this generation fits with the rest of the Impala line
Chevrolet redesigned the Impala for 2006. That generation runs on its own numbers, covered on the 2006-2013 page. The next redesign in 2014 changed the numbers again, covered on the 2014-2020 page.
ABS is the recurring split on this car, front and rear alike. A failing bearing can trip the ABS light before it ever makes noise.
Diagnosing an Impala wheel bearing
- Listen for a hum that grows with speed. A worn hub usually gets louder as the car picks up speed, front or rear.
- Turn the wheel and note which side gets louder. A hub that roars more in one direction points to that side, the pattern covered in this guide.
- Check for an ABS or traction light. A damaged sensor ring inside the hub can trip a fault before any noise shows up. See how the sensor sits in the hub.
- Rock the wheel with it off the ground. Play at 12 and 6 o’clock points to the hub, following the standard check.
- Confirm ABS, brake package, and build year before ordering. On 2001 and 2005 cars especially, match the number already on the old part.
Common questions
What is the 2004 Impala wheel bearing part number?
A 2004 Impala with ABS uses front hub 513179. Without ABS, the front uses 513203 instead.
What wheel bearing does a 2001 Impala use?
2001 is a trap year. The front ABS tone ring design changed mid-year, so there is no single documented number. The front gets matched against the old part instead.
Does the 2000-2005 Impala rear wheel bearing depend on ABS?
From 2002 on, yes. Rear hub 512237 covers ABS cars and 512221 covers cars without ABS. 2000-2001 rear drum brake cars use 513018 instead.
Why does the 2005 Impala front wheel bearing not have one number?
2005 splits by brake package, heavy-duty versus light-duty, rather than by ABS. That split has no single catalog number, so it gets matched against the old part.
What front wheel bearing does a 2000 Impala use?
A 2000 Impala with ABS uses front hub 513121, its own number separate from later years. Cars without ABS use 513203, the same number that covers the rest of the generation.
