The short version
- A 2013 Hyundai Elantra wheel bearing order at the rear is one number, 512492. It covers the whole 2011-2016 run.
- The front has no documented part number this generation. Order it by VIN or by matching the old part.
- 2011-2012 catalog rows note the 1.8L engine, while 2013-2016 rows drop that note. The rear number stays 512492 either way.
- Six model years, one documented rear hub, and a front that always goes by match.
The 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra keeps a single rear hub number across all six years. A 2013 Hyundai Elantra wheel bearing order at the rear is the easy half of the job.

This page covers the 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. Other years live on the main Hyundai Elantra wheel bearing page.
The 1.8L note on the 2011-2012 catalog rows can look like a split. It is not one. The rear hub stays 512492 whether or not the row mentions the engine.
The real gap on this generation is the front, which has no documented hub number at all.
Year by year
2011 and 2012 carry the 1.8L engine note on the rear row, still pointing to 512492. A 2013 Hyundai Elantra wheel bearing order drops that note but keeps the same number.
2013 through 2016 use the identical rear hub, 512492, with no engine qualifier listed. The front stays unmatched to any number across the whole span.
Rear documented, front by match
This generation is unusual for how little the front is documented. Every year, the front bearing is a match the old part or VIN job, not a catalog lookup.
The rear tells a simpler story, one number for six years. That is similar to how the 2007-2010 Elantra rear stayed consistent within its own ABS split.
Diagnosing a 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra wheel bearing
- Jack up the wheel and check for play. Grip the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock with the wheel off the ground. See how to check a wheel bearing for the method.
- Listen for a hum that shifts in turns. A worn bearing usually grows louder leaning one direction, detailed at wheel bearing noise in turns.
- Rule out the tires before condemning the bearing. Uneven tread can mimic bearing noise at highway speed, compared at tire noise or wheel bearing.
- Pull the old front bearing before ordering a replacement. With no documented front number, the physical part is the reference.
- Confirm the VIN if the front bearing is already gone. That is the fallback when there is nothing left to match.
