The short version
- The 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 wheel bearing up front splits by ABS type: 515062 for rear wheel ABS, 515063 for four wheel ABS.
- Timken lists the same two positions under different numbers, HA590503 and HA590203, as parallel listings.
- 2002 drops the ABS split and settles on one number, 515063, for every 4×4 truck.
- 2WD trucks moved to a hub unit these years, HA590000, though a tapered set option, SET814, is also listed.
Dodge Ram 2500 trucks from 2000 through 2002 pick the 4×4 front bearing by ABS type, at least for two of the three years. The 2001 Ram 2500 wheel bearing question splits the same way. Two wheel drive trucks change hardware entirely in this span.
The core numbers for this generation
The 2001 Ram 2500 wheel bearing question comes down to ABS wiring. Rear wheel ABS trucks use 515062, and four wheel ABS trucks use 515063.
Timken lists the same two positions as HA590503 and HA590203. These are parallel listings, so match the number the old part carries.

This page covers the 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500: 2000, 2001, 2002. Other years live on the main Dodge Ram 2500 wheel bearing page.
515062 and 515063 are National numbers, and HA590503 and HA590203 are Timken numbers for the same two positions. These are parallel listings, not two different parts to choose between.
Match the number the old part already carries rather than picking a brand at random. 2002 removes this question by using one number, 515063, across the board.
Year by year
2000 and 2001 split the 4×4 front bearing by ABS type: 515062 for rear wheel ABS, 515063 for four wheel ABS. 2002 drops that split and uses 515063 for every 4×4 truck. The 2WD front bearing stays a hub assembly, HA590000, or the tapered option, SET814, across all three years.
Rear axle bearings do not change across this span. They follow the axle tag, Spicer 60 or the 9.25 inch ring gear, not the model year. The 2001 Ram 2500 wheel bearing rear question is answered by the axle, never the calendar.
Where this generation sits in the Ram 2500 line
The 1994-1999 Ram 2500 split its 4×4 front hub by GVW package instead of ABS type, a completely different system. The 2003-2010 Ram 2500 starts its own hub listings again.
The 2WD switch to a hub assembly here follows the same shift seen on many trucks moving away from a serviceable tapered design. Drivetrain remains the dividing line on both ends, as covered at drive type and wheel bearing wear.
Diagnosing a Dodge Ram 2500 wheel bearing
- Identify the ABS type first. A 2000 or 2001 truck needs to know rear wheel ABS from four wheel ABS before ordering the front hub.
- Match the old part on ambiguous years. Where a National and a Timken number both apply, order to match what came off the truck.
- Watch the ABS light. A worn 4×4 hub often trips a fault at the ABS sensor built into the hub before it gets loud.
- Rock the wheel at 12 and 6. Looseness on a 2WD hub unit or a rear axle bearing shows up the same way as a 4×4 front hub.
- Confirm 2WD hardware before ordering. Some trucks carry the HA590000 hub, and others carry the SET814 tapered set, so check what is already installed.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2001 Ram 2500 use?
The 2001 Ram 2500 wheel bearing up front is 515062 for rear wheel ABS or 515063 for four wheel ABS. Timken lists the same positions as HA590503 and HA590203, so match the number the old part carries.
What wheel bearing does a 2002 Ram 2500 use?
Just one number for every 4×4 truck, 515063, regardless of ABS type. The two number split from 2000 and 2001 is gone by 2002.
Why do two different numbers show up for the same Ram 2500 position?
National and Timken each catalog the same hub under their own part number. These are parallel listings, so match the number the old part carries rather than treating them as different parts.
Is the 2WD Ram 2500 front wheel bearing a hub or a tapered set?
Both show up in these years. The catalogs list HA590000 as a hub assembly and SET814 as a tapered set option, so match what the truck already has.
What is the rear wheel bearing on a Ram 2500 with the 9.25 inch axle?
That is axle bearing territory, built from seal 710067 and bearing R-1561-TV rather than a wheel bearing part number.
