The short version
- The 2013 Subaru Impreza wheel bearing front hub is 513303 for the 2.0i and WRX, or 513302 for the WRX STi.
- The front number for the 2.0i splits again in 2014. Cars built from 1/15/14 onward use 513413 instead of 513303.
- The rear hub is 512518 for the 2.0i. The 2014 WRX and STi carry their own separate rear numbers.
- 2012 rear hubs and any combination not listed here are match jobs against the old part or the VIN.
2012 through 2016 packs three separate splits into one Impreza generation. A 2013 Subaru Impreza wheel bearing order starts with trim. On a 2014 2.0i, the exact build date matters too.

This page covers the 2012-2016 Subaru Impreza: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. Other years live on the main Subaru Impreza wheel bearing page.
A 2014 Subaru Impreza asks for trim first. A 2.0i also asks for the build date, since the front number splits mid-year. WRX and STi rears that year carry their own separate numbers too.
2012 rear hubs and any 2013 WRX or STi rear are not documented. Match the old part on the car or confirm by VIN before ordering.
Year by year
2012 and 2013 share one front chart: 513303 for the 2.0i and WRX, 513302 for the STi. 2012 rear hubs are not documented and need a match rather than a lookup.
2014 is the split year. The 2.0i front hub is 513303 through build date 1/14/14, then 513413 after that. The STi front hub stays on 513302 through the whole year.
The rear also splits by trim in 2014. The 2.0i rear is 512518, the WRX rear is 512402, and the STi rear is 512401.
2015 and 2016 settle on 513413 up front and 512518 in the rear, one chart for both years.
A build date shared with other Subaru models
The 1/15/14 split is not unique to this Impreza. The Forester and the Crosstrek of this era share the same build-date line on their front hubs. Checking the door jamb on a 2014 car is the fastest way to settle it.
Away from that split, the WRX STi keeps its own front hub, 513302, through 2014. It then joins the shared 513413 number starting in 2015.
Diagnosing a 2012-2016 Subaru Impreza wheel bearing
- Identify the trim first. The STi runs its own front number for most of this run; the 2.0i and WRX share theirs.
- On a 2014 2.0i, find the build date. The door jamb sticker settles 513303 versus 513413.
- 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.
- Match the old part when the row is missing. 2012 rears and unlisted combinations do not have a documented number to look up.
