This page covers the 2009 to 2013 Toyota Matrix: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013. Other years live on the main Toyota Matrix wheel bearing page.
2010 has its own oddball. The 2.4 liter XRS takes a separate rear, 512406, for that year only, while every other 2.4 FWD car in this run uses 512405.
Fronts are documented for 2009 only. From 2010 on, match the old part or run the VIN, and confirm the engine before ordering a 2009 front.
Year by year
2009 is the only year with a documented front: 510070 for 1.8 liter, 510063 for 2.4 liter. A 2009 Toyota Matrix wheel bearing rear splits the same way, 512403 for 1.8, 512405 or 512406 for 2.4 depending on trim.
2010 adds the AWD rear, 512404, and the one year XRS rear, 512406. 2011 through 2013 settle on 512403, 512405, and 512404 by engine and drivetrain, with no documented front.
Two Matrix generations, two rear stories
The first generation Matrix ran 2003 to 2008 with a single front number for every drivetrain. See the 2003 to 2008 Toyota Matrix page for that lineup.
This body splits its numbers by engine instead. The two generations do not share any front or rear number.
Diagnosing a Toyota Matrix wheel bearing
- Identify the engine. 1.8 liter and 2.4 liter cars take different numbers front and rear. Check the engine before anything else.
- Confirm the drivetrain. AWD rear differs from FWD rear on every year in this run. This page covers the general pattern.
- Check for the XRS trim in 2010. It takes its own rear number, 512406, separate from other 2.4 FWD cars. Confirm the trim badge before ordering.
- Listen for a hum. A worn bearing hums or growls, and the sound builds with speed. Front bearings on this car press in where a number is documented.
- Match front years to the old part. Only 2009 has a documented front number. How to check a wheel bearing covers what to look for before pulling it.
Common questions

What wheel bearing does a 2012 Toyota Matrix use?
Front is not documented, so match the old part or run the VIN. Rear is 512403 for 1.8 FWD, 512405 for 2.4 FWD, or 512404 for AWD.
Does the 2010 Matrix XRS use a different rear wheel bearing?
Yes. It takes 512406, a number that exists only for the 2010 XRS trim.
Why is the Matrix front wheel bearing only documented for 2009?
The catalogs simply stop listing a front number after 2009. Match the old part or run the VIN for 2010 through 2013.
Do the 1.8 and 2.4 liter Matrix engines use different wheel bearings?
Yes, on both ends. Front splits by engine in 2009, and rear splits by engine for the entire 2009 to 2013 run.
