Home › Vehicles › Lexus › Lexus LS430 › 2001-2006 Lexus LS430 Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- A 2001 Lexus LS430 rear wheel bearing is hub 512205, one of just two numbers that cover this entire generation.
- The front hub unit is 513163, and both numbers hold steady from 2001 through 2006 without exception.
- The real risk is borrowing either number for a different LS year, since only 2001 to 2006 cars take these listings.
- Outside this range, the numbers change, so check the parent page before ordering.
Lexus built the LS430 from 2001 through 2006 on one consistent set of wheel bearing hubs. A 2001 Lexus LS430 rear wheel bearing is 512205, and that number never changes across the six model years covered here. The front hub is just as stable at 513163.
LS430 wheel bearing numbers
A 2001 Lexus LS430 rear wheel bearing is 512205, and the matching front hub unit is 513163.
Both numbers apply to every year from 2001 through 2006, with no splits by trim or engine to track.

This page covers the 2001-2006 Lexus LS430: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. Other years live on the main Lexus LS430 wheel bearing page.
Two numbers cover this entire generation, front hub 513163 and rear hub 512205, so the real mistake is borrowing either one for a different LS430 year. Outside the 2001 to 2006 range, both listings change. Check the parent page before ordering for any other LS430 model year.
Year by year
Every year from 2001 through 2006 shares the same two numbers at both ends. A 2001 Lexus LS430 rear wheel bearing job looks identical to the same job on a 2006 car. Nothing splits by trim, engine, or drivetrain across this span.
One generation, two numbers
The LS430 held its wheel bearing hardware steady for the entire 2001 to 2006 run, which keeps the lookup simple compared to cars that split by engine or body style. That stability ends outside this generation, where the LS line moves to different listings. Confirm the model year carefully before assuming either number applies.
Diagnosing a Lexus LS430 wheel bearing
- Confirm the model year first. Only 2001 through 2006 LS430s take 513163 front and 512205 rear.
- Check both hubs for play. Use a basic bearing check at each corner before ordering.
- Rule out tire wear. Compare against tire wear noise patterns before condemning a hub.
- Watch for ABS codes. A failing hub can trigger a code before the noise is obvious; see how ABS lights connect to bearing wear.
- Match by hub unit, not by feel. Since both ends are sealed hub units, confirm the number on the old part rather than guessing from noise alone.
