The short version
- 2016 Jeep Patriot rear wheel bearing numbers split by drivetrain. 512333 fits 4WD, 512332 fits FWD, across 2007 through 2017.
- The front hub has no documented number this generation. Front jobs go by VIN or match the old part.
- The rear rows are shared with the Jeep Compass from the same years. That widens where a shop can source either number.
- No mid-run changes touch either rear number. One drivetrain question settles the whole eleven-year span.
The 2007-2017 Jeep Patriot spans eleven model years and never changes its rear wheel bearing lineup. Drivetrain decides everything at the back end, and that single question carries the whole run.
The core numbers
Every 4WD Patriot from 2007 through 2017 takes rear hub 512333. Every FWD Patriot in the same span takes 512332.
The front hub has no documented number in this generation. Order by VIN or match the part already on the vehicle.

This page covers the 2007-2017 Jeep Patriot: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017. Other years live on the main Jeep Patriot wheel bearing page.
Only the rear axle gets a documented number on the Patriot. It splits strictly by drivetrain, not by year.
A 2016 Jeep Patriot rear wheel bearing order has to start with 4WD or FWD. The front never gets a catalog row across this whole generation, so treat every front job as a VIN lookup or a match.
Year by year
2007 through 2017 share one answer at the rear: 512333 on 4WD Patriots, 512332 on FWD Patriots. No mid-run change touches either side.
A 2016 Jeep Patriot rear wheel bearing job follows the same drivetrain split as a 2008 or a 2014. The front stays unresolved for the entire span, routed through VIN confirmation or a straight match to the old part.
Shared with the Compass
The Patriot and the Jeep Compass share the same rear hub pair. Built in these years, that means 512333 for 4WD and 512332 for FWD.
A 2016 Jeep Patriot rear wheel bearing and a same-year Compass rear bearing come off that same two-number list. Drivetrain still does the deciding either way, so confirm it before ordering.
Diagnosing a Jeep Patriot wheel bearing
- Listen for the pattern. A worn rear wheel bearing usually hums or growls. It gets louder with speed, a sign covered in how bearing noise changes in a turn.
- Rule out the tires first. Tire wear can mimic bearing noise. Compare the sound against tire noise versus wheel bearing noise before ordering parts.
- Check for play. With the wheel off the ground, grab it at the top and bottom and rock it. Looseness at the hub points to the bearing.
- Watch the ABS light. A failing rear hub can trip a wheel speed sensor fault. A bad bearing setting off the ABS light is common on this generation.
- Confirm drivetrain before ordering. Pull the VIN or check the badge to settle 4WD versus FWD, then match that to 512333 or 512332.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2016 Jeep Patriot use in the rear?
A 2016 Jeep Patriot rear wheel bearing is 512333 on 4WD models and 512332 on FWD models. The year does not change the answer, only the drivetrain does.
What wheel bearing does a 2010 Jeep Patriot need?
A 2010 Patriot uses the same pair as every other year in this run. That is 512333 for 4WD and 512332 for FWD, so confirm drivetrain first.
Does the Jeep Patriot front wheel bearing have a part number?
No documented number covers the front on this generation. Order by VIN or match whatever part is already installed.
Is the Compass rear wheel bearing the same as the Patriot’s?
Yes. The same two rear numbers, 512333 for 4WD and 512332 for FWD, cover both models across these years.
How do you check hub play on a Patriot before replacing it?
Lift the wheel, grip it at twelve and six o’clock, and rock it firmly. Any looseness at the hub points to the bearing, not the tire or suspension. Pair that with a proper wheel bearing check first.
