The short version

  • 2009 Hyundai Sonata wheel bearing numbers for 2006-2010: front 510034 through 2009, rear 512265 with ABS or 512266 without.
  • The front bearing carried straight over from the prior generation. Only the rear changed with the 2006 redesign.
  • 2010 is match territory at both ends: front and rear, by old part or VIN.
  • The rear split stays on ABS the whole documented run, 2006 through 2009.

Order a 2009 Hyundai Sonata wheel bearing for the 2006-2010 body and only half the car actually changed at the redesign. The front bearing, 510034, carried straight over from the older Sonata. The rear hubs are new numbers entirely.

The core numbers

This page covers the 2006-2010 Hyundai Sonata: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010. Other years live on the main Hyundai Sonata wheel bearing page.

Half carryover, half new. The front bearing survived the 2006 redesign unchanged, so 510034 still applies. The rear hubs did not survive it, and moved to 512265 or 512266 by ABS.

Documentation also stops a year short of the body. 2010 needs a match at both ends, front and rear.

Year by year

2006 through 2009 is fully documented: front 510034, rear 512265 with ABS or 512266 without.

2010 is the odd year out. Neither end has a documented number, so match the old part or confirm through the VIN.

What carried over from the last generation

The 1999-2005 Sonata settled on 510034 as its front bearing from 2002 onward, and the 2006 redesign kept that same part. The rear is where the redesign actually shows up, with 512265 and 512266 replacing the older ABS-split numbers.

A 2009 Hyundai Sonata wheel bearing order only needs the new numbers at the rear. The front stayed the same part for years on either side of the redesign.

Diagnosing a Hyundai Sonata wheel bearing

  1. Listen for the hum. A worn bearing growls and gets louder with speed. Noise that changes in a turn usually narrows it to one side.
  2. Check for play. With the wheel off the ground, rock it at 12 and 6 o’clock. Play there is the bearing, not the strut.
  3. Rule out the tire. Tire noise and bearing noise sound alike at speed, so check tread wear before ordering.
  4. Confirm ABS at the rear. The rear hub number depends on ABS, and the sensor built into the hub is the quickest way to check.
  5. Press-in front, so check the seat. These are press-in wheel bearings, not serviceable ones, so inspect the knuckle bore before reinstalling.

Common questions

What wheel bearing does a 2009 Hyundai Sonata use?

A 2009 Hyundai Sonata wheel bearing order needs front 510034, rear 512265 with ABS or 512266 without. All three numbers are fully documented for 2009.

What wheel bearing does a 2007 Hyundai Sonata use?

The same numbers apply: front 510034, rear 512265 or 512266 by ABS. Nothing changes across 2006 through 2009.

Did the front bearing change with the 2006 redesign?

No. 510034 carried straight over from the prior Sonata and stayed the front number through 2009.

What wheel bearing fits a 2010 Hyundai Sonata?

Neither end is documented for 2010. Match the old part or confirm through the VIN, front and rear.

How do I know if my Sonata has ABS for the rear order?

Look for the sensor connector at the hub, or check the trim level and options list. When in doubt, pull the old hub and look for the toothed sensor ring before ordering. ABS gets 512265, no ABS gets 512266.

About this page

Wheel Bearing Editorial Team The Wheel Bearing Editorial Team researches, builds and edits wheelbearing.net. Every part number on the site is transcribed from manufacturer and distributor catalogs (Moog, Timken, SKF, National, BCA/NTN) rather than generated, and every vehicle page is checked against the catalog rows before it goes live. When two catalogs disagree, the page shows both readings and tells you to match the old part or the VIN. More about how this site is built.
