The short version
- A 2011 GMC Sierra wheel bearing order is a one-question job: 515096 for 4WD and AWD, including Denali, or 515097 for 2WD.
- The pair covers all seven years of this body, 2007 through 2013, with no other split.
- A 2007 Sierra can also be the older Classic body, which uses different numbers entirely.
- The rear rides on a solid axle, with no hub bearing to order.
The 2007-2013 GMC Sierra 1500 arrived as a new body that year, and once that body is confirmed, a 2011 GMC Sierra wheel bearing order comes down to one question: which wheels are driven. Everything else about the front hub stays the same for seven years.
2011 GMC Sierra wheel bearing numbers
515096 is the front hub for every 4WD and AWD truck in this generation, Denali included.
515097 is the front hub for 2WD trucks, and both numbers run the full 2007-2013 span.

This page covers the 2007-2013 GMC Sierra 1500: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013. Other years live on the main GMC Sierra wheel bearing page.
The Classic, the outgoing old body, kept its own numbers, documented on the 1999-2006 Sierra page. The new body starting the same year uses 515096 and 515097.
Confirm which 2007 truck is in the driveway before ordering. The Denali’s AWD system takes the 4WD number, 515096, never the 2WD one.
Year by year
Every year from 2007 through 2013 uses the same pair once the drivetrain is known, so a 2011 GMC Sierra wheel bearing order looks the same as one from 2008 or 2013. There is no mid-generation split to track, which makes this one of the simpler Sierra lookups on the site.
Where this truck sits in the family
The Classic body that shares 2007 with this generation is covered on the 1999-2006 Sierra page. The 2014-2018 Sierra page continues the drivetrain-first pattern this body established, detailed on the drive type page.
The rear axle carries no hub bearing on any of these trucks. That territory is covered on the axle bearing page.
Diagnosing a 2007-2013 GMC Sierra wheel bearing
- Check for a transfer case to confirm 4WD or AWD versus 2WD.
- Confirm the body style on a 2007 truck, since Classic trucks use different numbers.
- Remember Denali takes the 4WD number, not a separate listing of its own.
- Jack up the corner and rock the wheel at twelve and six o’clock, feeling for play.
- Start with the basics on the checking page before ordering either hub.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2011 GMC Sierra use?
A 2011 GMC Sierra wheel bearing order needs 515096 for 4WD or AWD, Denali included, or 515097 for 2WD.
What wheel bearing does a 2007 GMC Sierra use?
It depends on the body. A Classic 2007 uses the older numbers, while the new 2007 body uses 515096 or 515097 by drivetrain.
Does the Denali use a different number?
No. Its AWD system takes 515096, the same number every 4WD truck in this generation uses.
Does the rear need a hub bearing?
No. The rear is a solid axle, and axle bearings are covered on a separate page.
Does the front hub change at any point from 2007 to 2013?
Not according to the catalogs. The same two numbers, split only by drivetrain, cover the whole span.
