Home › Vehicles › Subaru › Outback › 2010-2014 Subaru Outback Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- 2011 Subaru Outback wheel bearing part numbers for the 2010-2014 generation: front hub 513220 and rear hub 512401, one pair for the whole run.
- The front hub carried straight over from the 2005-2009 Outback, a ten year run across two bodies.
- The rear hub, 512401, is new to this generation and does not match the older car’s rear.
- No ABS or drivetrain split applies here. Every 2010-2014 Outback uses the same two numbers.
Subaru sold the fourth generation Outback from 2010 through 2014 without touching the wheel bearing spec at either end. A 2011 Subaru Outback wheel bearing job needs exactly two numbers. Front hub 513220 and rear hub 512401 hold across all five model years.
2011 Subaru Outback wheel bearing numbers
A 2011 Subaru Outback wheel bearing order needs just these two numbers, one per axle.
Neither number splits by trim, engine, or drivetrain on this generation.

This page covers the 2010-2014 Subaru Outback: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. Other years live on the main Subaru Outback wheel bearing page.
The front hub on this Outback is a straight carryover, but the rear is not.
513220 has covered the front since 2005, a ten year span across two bodies. The rear moved to 512401 for 2010, and pulling the older generation’s rear number is the mistake to watch for.
Year by year
Nothing changes across 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, or 2014. Every model year in this generation takes front hub 513220 and rear hub 512401. A 2011 Subaru Outback wheel bearing order looks identical to one for a 2013 or a 2014 car.
Two generations, one front number
The front hub’s run did not start with this body. 513220 first appeared on the 2005-2009 Outback and simply carried forward, detailed on the 2005-2009 Outback page.
The next redesign broke that streak. The 2015-2019 Outback moved to different numbers at both ends, covered on the 2015-2019 Outback page.
Diagnosing a 2010-2014 Subaru Outback wheel bearing
- Listen for road noise that changes with speed. A worn bearing gets louder as the car speeds up and can shift pitch in a turn, covered in more depth on this page about wheel bearing noise in turns.
- Check for play at the wheel. With the wheel off the ground, grab it at 12 and 6 o’clock and rock it. Looseness points at the hub bearing rather than a suspension bushing.
- Rule out the tire before committing to a bearing. Cupped or unevenly worn tread can mimic bearing noise, and this comparison walks through telling the two apart.
- Watch the ABS light. The hub bearing carries the wheel speed sensor, and a failing one can trip a false ABS or traction fault before it ever gets loud, as this page explains.
- Confirm the part before ordering. Match the old hub against the numbers on this page, and use this inspection walkthrough if there is any doubt about which corner is bad.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2011 Subaru Outback use?
A 2011 Subaru Outback wheel bearing order is front hub 513220 and rear hub 512401. Neither number changes anywhere in the 2010-2014 generation.
What wheel bearing does a 2014 Subaru Outback use?
The same pair. Front hub 513220 and rear hub 512401 cover the 2014 Outback exactly as they do the 2010 through 2013 cars.
Is the front bearing on this Outback the same as the older model?
Yes. Front hub 513220 carried over from the 2005-2009 Outback and stayed unchanged until the 2015-2019 redesign.
Can the previous generation’s rear bearing be used here?
No. The rear hub moved to 512401 for 2010 and does not match the 2005-2009 car’s rear number. Match the rear to this generation specifically.
How do I confirm which number is already on the car?
Match the old part’s stamped number against the table above. If the stamping is worn away, the part’s position, front or rear, is still enough to pick the right row.
