The short version
- A 2011 F250 wheel bearing question has a short answer. 515130 covers every 4×4 single rear wheel truck through 2016.
- 2WD trucks in this span have no documented listing. Matching the old part or running the VIN is the fix.
- The 2017 redesign starts a new Super Duty family. There is no documented row here for those years.
- This page covers 2011 through 2016 only. Earlier and later F250 years live on the sibling pages.
Six years of Ford F250 trucks lean on one wheel bearing number, at least for the common configuration. This page covers 2011 through 2016, the tail end of this Super Duty body before the 2017 redesign. A single part carries the 4×4 single rear wheel truck the whole way through.
Ford F250 wheel bearing numbers by configuration
2WD trucks in this span have no documented listing. Match the old part or run the VIN.
2017 model year trucks move to the next Super Duty family. That family has no documented row here either.

This page covers the 2011-2016 Ford F250: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. Other years live on the main Ford F250 wheel bearing page.
The catalogs document only the 4×4 single rear wheel hub for these years. 2WD trucks and the 2017 redesign both mean matching the old part or running the VIN.
The 2011 F250 wheel bearing story looks simple on the surface, but it only covers one configuration out of several.
Year by year
2011 through 2016 is one story for 4×4 single rear wheel trucks. The 2011 F250 wheel bearing number, 515130, holds unchanged for all six years.
2WD trucks are undocumented across the same span. There is no separate serviceable listing given for them here.
2017 and 2018 belong to the next Super Duty family. Those years carry no documented row on this page at all.
Where this generation sits
This F250 body follows the 2005-2010 F250 and ends before the 2017 redesign. The front hub number changed at that earlier boundary and it changes again after 2016.
Earlier Super Duty trucks back to 1990 run their own numbers on their own pages. None of those numbers carry forward to this generation.
Configuration still matters even with one dominant number. A 2WD truck from this span needs the old part or the VIN, not 515130, and the rear axle is axle bearing territory besides.
Diagnosing a Ford F250 wheel bearing
- Listen for direction. A hum that grows with speed and shifts pitch in a turn points to the bearing, not the tire. See wheel bearing noise in a turn for the pattern.
- Rule out the tires first. Cupped or uneven wear can mimic a bearing hum. Compare against tire noise or wheel bearing symptoms before ordering.
- Check for play. Jack up the wheel and rock it at twelve and six. See how to check a wheel bearing for the full steps.
- Watch the ABS light. A failing hub with a sensor ring can trip the ABS light before any noise shows up.
- Confirm drive and axle first. 4×4 or 2WD decides whether 515130 even applies. Get that answer before reading any part number.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2011 Ford F250 use?
A 2011 F250 wheel bearing is 515130 on 4×4 trucks with single rear wheels. 2WD trucks that year have no documented listing. Matching the old part or the VIN is the fallback.
What wheel bearing does a 2016 Ford F250 use?
A 2016 F250 with 4×4 and single rear wheels still uses 515130, the last year before the redesign. 2WD trucks remain undocumented in 2016 as well.
What wheel bearing does a 2017 Ford F250 use?
2017 starts the next Super Duty family, and the catalogs held here carry no row for it. Matching by VIN is the only path forward for that year.
Is there a documented 2WD hub number for this F250?
No. The 2011 to 2016 span leaves 2WD trucks without a listing entirely. The fix is matching the number the old part carries or running the VIN.
Does dual rear wheel change the number on this generation?
The catalogs held for this span give only one front listing, for 4×4 single rear wheel trucks. Any other configuration means matching the old part rather than assuming 515130 fits.
