HHR wheel bearing numbers at a glance
LS and LT cars with ABS take 513206 for the whole run. That covers the 2007 HHR wheel bearing case too. Cars without ABS take 513237, but only through 2008.
The SS takes its own front hub, 513214, from 2008 to 2010. It also takes its own rear hub, 512285, in 2009 and 2010. LS and LT rear hubs start in 2009 at 512250.

This page covers the 2006-2011 Chevy HHR: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011. Other years live on the main HHR wheel bearing page.
The SS is a separate car at both ends. It carries its own front hub from 2008 to 2010, and its own rear hub in 2009 and 2010. Rear coverage for 2006-2008 is an honest gap, so match the old part or run the VIN.
These hub families also fit another GM small car of the era. Order from this car’s rows above, not from memory.
Year by year
2006 to 2008 splits by ABS up front. LS and LT with ABS take 513206. Cars without ABS take 513237.
The rear is not documented for those three years. Match the old part or run the VIN.
2008 adds the SS, which takes 513214 up front. The base split for LS, LT, and non ABS cars keeps running underneath it. The 2007 HHR wheel bearing situation for that base group is unchanged: 513206 or 513237.
2009 through 2011 settles the rear. LS and LT take 512250, the SS takes 512285.
Up front, 513206 covers LS and LT the whole time. The non ABS front stops after 2008. The SS front stops after 2010.
Trim and drivetrain decide the HHR wheel bearing
Every split on this car comes down to two questions. Does the car have ABS? Is it an SS?
There is no separate all wheel drive HHR, so drivetrain matters less than trim level.
The front and rear hub choices move independently, so confirm both ends before ordering. A 2007 HHR wheel bearing job might need only the front, only the rear, or both.
Diagnosing a Chevy HHR wheel bearing
- Listen for the noise. A worn wheel bearing usually makes a grinding or humming noise that changes with speed, not engine RPM. This guide to wheel bearing noise on turns covers how the sound shifts side to side.
- Rule out the tires. Cupped or unevenly worn tires can mimic a bearing noise. This comparison walks through the difference.
- Check for play. With the wheel off the ground, rock it at the top and bottom. Looseness points to the bearing, not the tire; this walkthrough covers the full procedure.
- Watch the ABS light. Many HHR hubs carry the ABS tone ring. A failing bearing can trip the ABS light before the noise gets loud.
- Confirm ABS and trim before ordering. Match the car’s actual ABS status and trim level. Then check whether the hub carries the ABS sensor.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2007 HHR use?
The 2007 HHR wheel bearing front is 513206 with ABS, or 513237 without. The rear is not documented for 2007. Match the old part or run the VIN.
What wheel bearing does a 2010 HHR use?
The 2010 HHR front is 513206 for LS and LT with ABS. The SS front is still 513214 in 2010, its last year. The rear is 512250 for LS and LT, or 512285 for the SS.
Why doesn’t the HHR have a documented rear bearing before 2009?
The catalogs we hold do not carry a rear listing for 2006 through 2008. That is a gap in documentation, not proof the car runs without a rear hub. Match the old part or run the VIN.
Does the HHR SS use the same wheel bearing as the LS and LT?
No. The SS carries its own front hub, 513214, and its own rear hub, 512285. Those are separate from the 513206 front and 512250 rear used by LS and LT.
Is the 2006-2008 non ABS front the same for LS and LT trims?
Yes, the non ABS front hub, 513237, applies to both trims through 2008. The split is based on ABS status, not trim level. After 2008 that row stops appearing in the catalogs.
