Home › Vehicles › Ford › Escape › 2013-2019 Ford Escape Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- 2014 Ford Escape wheel bearing numbers at the rear split by drivetrain and park assist. AWD is 512500, FWD without active park assist is 512499, FWD with it is 512496.
- The front has no documented number this generation; order by VIN or match the old part.
- Those three rear rows are documented for 2013 through 2017.
- 2018 and 2019 rear orders also match the old part or confirm by VIN.
The 2013 Ford Escape moved to an entirely new platform, and the rear wheel bearing chart moved with it. Instead of one number for every trim, this generation asks two questions before it gives up a part number.
The core numbers

The front has no catalog number on this generation; match the old part or confirm by VIN.

This page covers the 2013-2019 Ford Escape: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019. Other years live on the main Ford Escape wheel bearing page.
A 2014 Ford Escape wheel bearing order at the rear needs the drivetrain first. Then, on FWD cars, it needs the park assist answer before a number applies.
The front has no documented number at all on this generation, so it is always a VIN or match job. 2018-2019 rear orders fall into that same match category.
Year by year
2013 through 2017 run on the three rear rows above, sorted by drivetrain and the park assist feature. A 2014 Ford Escape wheel bearing order at the rear falls squarely in that documented window.
2018 and 2019 are not separately documented at the rear, so those orders match the old part or confirm by VIN. The front stays a VIN job across every year.
A new platform, a new chart
This Escape left behind the press-in bearings of the 2008-2012 Escape, where one front and one rear number covered every trim. A split rear chart now defines the 2014 Ford Escape wheel bearing lookup.
Older years of the Escape are covered on the sibling generation pages listed above.
Diagnosing a Ford Escape wheel bearing
- Listen for the noise. A worn bearing tends to growl or hum, with the pitch rising as road speed rises.
- Note whether it changes in a turn. Load shifts under steering can make the noise louder one way; see the turning-noise guide.
- Rule out the tires. Cupped or unevenly worn tires can produce a similar sound; check the tire noise page first.
- Watch for an ABS or traction light. A rear hub failure can disturb the wheel speed sensor and set a code; see the ABS light guide.
- Check for physical play at the hub. With the wheel off the ground, rock it at 12 and 6 o’clock and compare side to side.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2014 Ford Escape use?
At the rear, a 2014 Ford Escape wheel bearing is 512500 on AWD. FWD is 512499 without active park assist, or 512496 with it. The front has no catalog number; order by VIN or match the old part.
What wheel bearing does a 2018 Ford Escape use?
2018 is outside the documented rear rows, so match the old part or confirm the number by VIN.
Why does the rear number depend on park assist?
The catalogs split FWD rear hubs strictly by whether the car has the active park assist feature. The two numbers are not listed as substitutes for each other, so confirm the option before ordering.
Is there a documented front wheel bearing for this Escape?
No. The front has no catalog number for 2013-2019; match the old part or order by VIN.
Do AWD and FWD Escapes share a rear wheel bearing?
