The short version
- The 2004 GMC Yukon wheel bearing is front hub 515054 for 2WD or 515036 for 4WD, the standard split from 2001 on.
- 2000 is different: the Denali already used 515036, while other 2000 trucks used 515024 with seal 710106.
- Rear axles are solid, so there is no rear hub number.
- Match the trim carefully on a 2000 truck; the split runs the opposite way from the Tahoe.
This page covers the 2000 through 2006 GMC Yukon. The 2004 GMC Yukon wheel bearing question is a straightforward drivetrain split, but the 2000 model year is not.
2004 GMC Yukon wheel bearing numbers at a glance
From 2001 on, drivetrain alone decides the front hub.
Rear axles are solid on this generation. See axle bearing vs wheel bearing for the difference.

This page covers the 2000-2006 GMC Yukon: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. Other years live on the main GMC Yukon wheel bearing page.
On the Yukon, the Denali already runs front hub 515036 in 2000. Every other 2000 trim keeps the older 515024 with seal 710106.
Check the trim carefully on a 2000 truck before ordering. Do not assume by year alone.
Year by year
2000 splits by trim. The Denali uses 515036, and every other trim uses 515024 with seal 710106.
2001 through 2006 settle down. 2WD trucks use 515054, and 4WD trucks use 515036.
The 2004 GMC Yukon wheel bearing falls in this settled period, so the drivetrain split is the only question.
Where this generation sits in the Yukon line
This 2000-2006 truck precedes the 2007-2014 Yukon, where the Denali’s AWD system takes the 4WD hub number instead of a Denali specific one.
The following 2015-2018 Yukon replaces every front number again, and stops documenting 2WD trucks after 2016.
Rear axles stay solid across every generation in this set, so none of these trucks get a rear hub number.
Diagnosing a GMC Yukon wheel bearing
- Listen for the noise. A worn front hub hums or growls, louder with speed.
- Check where it changes. Noise that grows on a turn points at the loaded side hub.
- Jack up the front end. Rock the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock and feel for play.
- Spin the wheel by hand. Roughness or grinding confirms bearing damage, not a balance issue.
- Check the trim on a 2000 truck. Denali and non-Denali use different numbers that year.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2004 GMC Yukon use?
A 2004 GMC Yukon wheel bearing is front hub 515054 on 2WD trucks or 515036 on 4WD trucks.
What wheel bearing does a 2000 GMC Yukon Denali use?
A 2000 Yukon Denali uses front hub 515036, the same number that later becomes the standard 4WD hub.
Does the 2000 non-Denali Yukon use a different hub?
Yes. Non-Denali 2000 trucks use front hub 515024 with seal 710106, not the 515036 used on the Denali.
Does the GMC Yukon have rear wheel bearings from 2000 to 2006?
No. These trucks run a solid rear axle, so rear service is axle bearing work, not a hub replacement.
Did the front hub numbers change after 2000?
Yes. From 2001 on, the split settles to drivetrain only: 515054 for 2WD and 515036 for 4WD.
