The short version
- Every 2002 Lexus IS300 wheel bearing job at the front uses bolt on hub 513150 with its own seal, 224820.
- The rear is a pressed bearing, 511028, not a hub assembly.
- All three numbers cover the full 2001-2005 run without a single change.
- The rear surprises people because it is a rear wheel drive sedan with press work at the back, not the front.
Rear wheel drive sedans usually put the fussy bearing work up front, and the Lexus IS300 does the opposite. A 2002 Lexus IS300 wheel bearing job at the rear means pressing bearing 511028 into the knuckle, while the front simply bolts on. That split holds for all five model years.
The core numbers
The front is a bolt on hub, 513150, and it needs its own seal, 224820, ordered alongside it.
The rear is a pressed bearing, 511028, not a hub assembly, and it covers 2001 through 2005 without change.

This page covers the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005. Other years live on the main Lexus IS300 wheel bearing page.
The rear on a Lexus IS300 is a pressed bearing, 511028, carrying a 511 prefix rather than a hub assembly number. On a rear wheel drive sedan, most shoppers expect the harder job up front, and here it is the opposite.
The front hub, 513150, needs its own seal ordered separately: 224820. Skipping the seal on a front job leaves the repair incomplete.
Year by year
2001 through 2005 the Lexus IS300 keeps the exact same three part numbers. A 2002 Lexus IS300 wheel bearing order looks identical to one placed for a 2005 car.
Nothing in the catalogs marks a mid cycle change on this sedan. Front hub, front seal, and rear bearing all run the full five year span untouched.
A rear wheel drive layout with the press work at the back
The IS300’s front and rear corners work opposite to what many shoppers expect walking in. The front hub, 513150, is the easy bolt on side, while the rear bearing, 511028, has to be pressed into place.
That layout means rear jobs on this sedan take longer than they look, since press in wheel bearings generally require more shop time than a bolt on hub swap.
Anyone budgeting a full 2002 Lexus IS300 wheel bearing repair should plan the rear side around press equipment, not just parts cost.
Diagnosing a Lexus IS300 wheel bearing
- Identify which end is noisy first. Front noise points at hub 513150, rear noise points at pressed bearing 511028.
- Listen for a growl that changes in turns. See wheel bearing noise in turns for how a bad bearing behaves compared to tire noise.
- Rule out the tires before condemning either bearing. See tire noise or wheel bearing for the difference.
- Check for play with the wheel off the ground. A loose front hub confirms 513150; a loose rear points at 511028.
- Order the front seal with the front hub. Seal 224820 belongs with every 513150 replacement, not as an afterthought.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2002 Lexus IS300 use?
A 2002 Lexus IS300 wheel bearing job needs front hub 513150 with seal 224820, or rear bearing 511028 depending on which end is worn. All three numbers are the same across the whole run.
What wheel bearing does a 2005 Lexus IS300 use?
The 2005 IS300 uses the identical lineup as 2001: front hub 513150, front seal 224820, and rear bearing 511028. Nothing changed across the five years.
Is the rear bearing a hub assembly?
No. The rear is a pressed bearing, 511028, not a hub. It has to be pressed into the rear knuckle rather than bolted on as a unit.
Do I need a separate seal for the rear?
The catalogs list a seal for the front hub, 224820, but the rear entry is the bearing itself, 511028. Match your old parts to confirm what came out.
Why is the front the easier side to service?
The front hub, 513150, bolts on as a complete unit, so there is no bearing race to press. The rear needs press equipment because 511028 seats inside the knuckle.
