Home › Vehicles › Nissan › Nissan Maxima › 2009-2018 Nissan Maxima Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- 2010 Nissan Maxima wheel bearing numbers: front hub 513296 and rear hub 512388. Both are documented for 2009-2014 and again from 2016 on.
- 2015 sits in a documentation hole. The same numbers cover the years on both sides, but a 2015 order still needs matching, not assuming.
- 513296 is a busy Nissan number, also used on the Altima, Pathfinder, and QX60. Confirm the application before ordering.
- 2018 has no documented front row. Match the old part there too.
The 2009-2018 Maxima wheel bearing chart runs clean for most of a decade, then goes quiet for one year. 2015 sits between two identical sets of numbers without a documented row of its own.

This page covers the 2009-2018 Nissan Maxima: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018. Other years live on the main Nissan Maxima wheel bearing page.
513296 and 512388 cover 2009 through 2014, then stop. The same two numbers pick back up for 2016. 2015 itself carries no documented row at either end.
The years on both sides use identical numbers. A 2015 Maxima still needs the old part matched or the VIN checked. Do not assume the gap year takes the same numbers just because both neighbors do.
Year by year
2009 through 2014: both ends are documented, 513296 front and 512388 rear. Nothing changes across those six years.
2015: neither end has a documented row. Match the old part or confirm by VIN rather than assuming the neighboring years’ numbers apply.
2016 through 2018: the rear returns on 512388 for all three years. The front returns on 513296 for 2016 and 2017. The 2018 front has no documented row, so match the old part.
A number shared across the Nissan lineup
513296 is not exclusive to the Maxima. The same front hub number is documented on the Altima, the Pathfinder, and the QX60. Confirm the application before ordering, not just the number.
The earlier 2002-2008 Maxima used a front repair kit instead of a hub. That’s a different kind of job than the bolt-on hub documented here.
Diagnosing a Nissan Maxima wheel bearing
- Confirm the year before ordering. 513296 and 512388 cover most of the 2010 Nissan Maxima wheel bearing run. 2015 and the 2018 front fall outside the documented rows.
- Listen for a rotating hum. A worn wheel bearing hums or growls and grows louder with speed. See the wheel bearing check guide.
- Rule out the tires first. Uneven wear can produce a similar drone, a mix up covered at tire noise or wheel bearing.
- Check for play at the hub. Jack up the corner and rock the wheel at 12 and 6 o’clock to feel for looseness.
- Double check the application on 513296. The same number covers other Nissan models, so confirm it’s the Maxima row before ordering.
