Home › Vehicles › Dodge and Ram › Dodge Avenger › 2008-2014 Dodge Avenger Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- The front wheel bearing on the 2008 to 2014 Dodge Avenger is one number, 513263, for every year. A 2012 Dodge Avenger wheel bearing swap starts from that single part.
- Rear numbers depend on year and ABS. 512332 or 512331 covers 2008 to 2010, then 512332 alone from 2011 to 2014.
- 2008 all wheel drive cars take handed rear hubs. 512430 on the left and 512431 on the right, a listing found only that year.
- Front wheel drive 2008 cars split by ABS. That matches the same pattern used in 2009 and 2010.
Between 2008 and 2014, Dodge built one Avenger generation. The front hub carries a single part number the whole time. A 2012 Dodge Avenger wheel bearing order is simple; an early one takes more care.

This page covers the 2008-2014 Dodge Avenger: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. Other years live on the main Dodge Avenger wheel bearing page.
All wheel drive Avengers that year take handed rear hubs. 512430 goes on the left, 512431 on the right, and that listing does not carry into 2009.
Front wheel drive 2008 cars instead split by ABS, matching 2009 and 2010. From 2011 on, every Avenger takes 512332 in the rear no matter the drivetrain.
Year by year
2008 covers four rear listings by itself. All wheel drive cars use handed hubs, 512430 left and 512431 right. Front wheel drive cars split by ABS into 512332 or 512331, and the front stays 513263 either way.
2009 and 2010 drop the all wheel drive rear listings. The ABS split remains: 512332 with four wheel ABS, 512331 without. The front number does not change.
2011 through 2014 use one rear number, 512332. That covers the 2012 Dodge Avenger wheel bearing job most owners search for, along with every other year in that span.
Drivetrain decides the rear, not the calendar
The Avenger only offered all wheel drive for one model year, 2008, and that is where the handed rear hubs live. Every other year is front wheel drive only, so ABS is the only thing left to track. See how drive type changes wheel bearing rules for the general pattern.
The four wheel ABS system puts a wheel speed sensor inside the rear hub. That is why the ABS split matters more than trim level does. A hub with a built in ABS sensor fails differently than a plain bearing.
Diagnosing a Dodge Avenger wheel bearing
- Listen for the noise pattern. A bad bearing usually growls or hums and changes pitch with road speed, not engine RPM.
- Check the noise in a turn. Wheel bearing noise on turns often gets louder in one direction than the other.
- Rule out the tires first. Cupped or worn tires can mimic a bearing growl. Compare tire noise against a bad bearing before pulling anything apart.
- Watch the ABS light. On four wheel ABS Avengers, a failing rear hub can trip the light before the noise gets loud. Check how a bad bearing trips the ABS light.
- Confirm with a jack and a shake. Lift the wheel, grab it at twelve and six o’clock, and check for play. Play with the brake off points straight at the bearing.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2012 Dodge Avenger use?
The 2012 Dodge Avenger wheel bearing is 513263 in front and 512332 in the rear. Both numbers apply to every 2011 through 2014 Avenger, not just 2012.
What wheel bearing does a 2009 Dodge Avenger use?
A 2009 Avenger takes 513263 in front. The rear depends on ABS: 512332 with four wheel ABS, 512331 without it.
Why does the 2008 Avenger have four different rear numbers?
2008 was the only year Dodge offered all wheel drive on the Avenger. Those cars take their own handed hubs, 512430 left and 512431 right. Front wheel drive 2008 cars use the same ABS split as 2009 and 2010 instead.
Does the front wheel bearing ever change on this Avenger?
No. 513263 covers the front on every 2008 to 2014 Avenger, regardless of drivetrain, ABS, or trim.
Can a 2012 Dodge Avenger wheel bearing fit a 2008 model?
The front, 513263, fits any year. The rear does not, since 2008 has its own ABS and drivetrain splits. Match the rear number to that specific car rather than borrowing a later year’s part.
