The short version
- The 2016 Toyota Prius front wheel bearing number is 513287, carried over from the prior body for that one year only.
- 2017 and 2018 front hubs switch to 513402.
- The rear hub is 512547 across all three years, 2016 through 2018.
- 2016 straddles two eras: new rear number, old front number, in the same model year.
2016 through 2018 opens with a straddle year before settling down. The 2016 Toyota Prius front wheel bearing number does not match its own generation’s rear hub, since the front held onto the older number for one more year. That gap closes for good once the 2017 model year arrives.

This page covers the 2016-2018 Toyota Prius: 2016, 2017, 2018. Other years live on the main Toyota Prius wheel bearing page.
The rear hub, 512547, is already the new number in 2016. The front hub is not: it stays on 513287, the same number as the prior Prius body, through that year only.
The 2016 Toyota Prius front wheel bearing number does not switch to 513402 until the 2017 model year.
Year by year
2016 is the straddle year. The rear moves to 512547 while the front holds onto 513287 from the previous body.
2017 and 2018 settle into a matching pair: front hub 513402 with rear hub 512547, no further split between the two years.
A 2017 or 2018 order is simpler for that reason: both ends come from the same era.
A front hub that arrives a year late
513287 belongs to the 2010-2015 Prius chart, and it reaches one extra year into 2016 before this generation gets its own front number.
The rear does not wait. 512547 starts fresh with the 2016 model year, ahead of the front hub by one full year.
That one-year gap is the whole story behind the 2016 straddle.
Diagnosing a 2016-2018 Toyota Prius wheel bearing
- Confirm the model year first. A 2016 front hub is 513287; 2017 and 2018 use 513402 instead.
- Do not assume the rear matches the front’s era. The rear is already 512547 in 2016, ahead of the front’s switch.
- Jack up the wheel and check for play. Looseness in the hub points to replacement. See how to check a wheel bearing.
- 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.
