The short version
- The 2012 Subaru Legacy wheel bearing front hub is 513220, carried straight over from the older body, and the rear hub is 512401, new for this generation.
- Only the rear number actually changed when this body arrived in 2010.
- The front hub, 513220, is now partway through a run of roughly ten years across two different Legacy bodies.
- One pair covers all five years, 2010 through 2014, with no trim or drivetrain split.
2010 through 2014 brings a new Legacy body, but only half the wheel bearing chart actually changed. A 2012 Subaru Legacy wheel bearing order still uses the older front hub number, while the rear moves to a fresh one. That split is easy to miss if a shop assumes a new body means two new numbers.

This page covers the 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. Other years live on the main Subaru Legacy wheel bearing page.
The prior Legacy body used a different rear hub. On this 2010-2014 body the rear is 512401, and reusing the old rear number is the mistake to avoid.
The front hub is the one part of the chart that did carry over, so a 2012 Subaru Legacy wheel bearing front order still lands on 513220.
Checking the old part before ordering is still the safest habit, even on a number this well documented.
Year by year
2010 through 2014 share one front and one rear number for the whole run. No individual year splits either row.
A 2012 Subaru Legacy wheel bearing order is the same job at any point in the run: front 513220, rear 512401.
That consistency makes this generation one of the simpler Legacy charts to order against.
A front number that spans two bodies
513220 is not new to this generation. It carried over from the 2005-2009 Legacy, stretching its documented run to roughly ten years across the two bodies.
The rear hub broke from that pattern. It is a fresh number on this body, and it changes again on the 2015-2018 Legacy that follows.
Two bodies, one front number, two different rear numbers. That is the shape of this chart.
Diagnosing a 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy wheel bearing
- Confirm the end first. Front hubs use 513220, rear hubs use 512401, and neither changes by trim on this generation.
- Jack up the wheel and check for play. Looseness in the hub points to replacement. See how to check a wheel bearing.
- Listen for a hum that changes with turns. A bearing that gets louder in one direction is a common early sign. See wheel bearing noise in turns.
- Watch the ABS light along with the noise. A wearing hub can trip the light through its sensor. See a bad bearing and the ABS light.
- Rule out tire wear before ordering. Uneven tread can mimic a bearing hum at speed. See tire noise or wheel bearing.
