The short version
- A 2002 Toyota Prius rear wheel bearing is HA590063, one hub number for all three years.
- The front runs a press in ball bearing instead, 510070, across the same span.
- 510070 also shows up on several other small Toyotas of this era, not just the Prius.
- None of this carries forward to the 2004 redesign, which starts its own numbers.

This page covers the 2001-2003 Toyota Prius: 2001, 2002, 2003. Other years live on the main Toyota Prius wheel bearing page.
510070 shows up across several other small Toyota models built in this same era. It is a shared listing, not a Prius specific part. Buying from a parts counter under a different nameplate can still land the correct piece.
The rear hub, HA590063, does not carry that overlap. Treat the two positions differently when cross shopping a part.
Year by year
2001 through 2003 is one story, front and back. 510070 covers the front and HA590063 covers the rear across all three years.
2004 starts an entirely new listing set, covered on the 2004 to 2009 page. Nothing from that page reaches back to this first body Prius.
A shared front part, a Prius specific rear
The front press in ball bearing, 510070, turns up across several small Toyotas built in this same era. More detail on how these bearings mount sits on the press in wheel bearing page.
The rear hub does not share that overlap. HA590063 belongs to this Prius body alone in the catalogs, and the 2004 to 2009 truck runs its own number on the 2004 to 2009 page.
Diagnosing a Toyota Prius wheel bearing
- Listen for a steady hum. A worn bearing changes pitch with road speed rather than staying constant.
- Rule out the tires first. Tire wear noise usually stays level, covered on the tire noise or wheel bearing page.
- Confirm which end is noisy. Front and rear use completely different part types on this car. A 2002 Toyota Prius rear wheel bearing failure sounds like a front one, so position matters first.
- Run a basic hands on check. A simple routine helps before ordering, covered on how to check a wheel bearing.
- Check for play at the wheel. Grab the tire at 12 and 6 oclock and rock it gently.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2001 Toyota Prius use?
A 2001 Prius uses 510070 up front and HA590063 in the rear. Both numbers stay the same across the whole first body run.
What wheel bearing does a 2002 Toyota Prius use?
A 2002 Toyota Prius rear wheel bearing is HA590063, and the front uses 510070. Neither number changed from the 2001 model year.
Is the 2003 Prius the same as the 2004?
No. The 2004 redesign starts its own listings, and none of them apply to this 2001 to 2003 body.
Why does the front bearing fit other Toyota models?
510070 is a shared front listing across several small Toyotas from this era, not a Prius only part. That is normal for a press in ball bearing of this size.
Is the rear hub a press in or bolt on part?
The rear is a bolt on hub assembly, HA590063, not a press in bearing. The front is the press in side of this car.
