Home › Vehicles › Toyota › Camry › 2018-2020 Toyota Camry Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- The 2018 Toyota Camry wheel bearing lineup for 2018 to 2020 splits by powertrain, not displacement. WE61872 is the front hub on the 2.5L gas car. WE61873 covers both the hybrid and the 3.5L V6.
- Two cars can both say 2.5L on the badge and still take different hubs. The hybrid uses WE61873 while the gas car uses WE61872.
- The V6 shares the hybrid number, WE61873, rather than the gas number. That is not the pairing most people expect.
- The rear is not documented for 2018 to 2020. It has to be matched off the old part or the VIN.
Between 2018 and 2020, the Camry front hub splits along powertrain lines rather than engine size. A 2.5L gas car and a 2.5L hybrid share nothing but the badge. The two take different hub numbers.
What the 2018 Toyota Camry wheel bearing job needs
All three powertrains use a front hub assembly, and the split runs by powertrain, not by displacement. The rear is not documented for 2018 to 2020 on any version.

This page covers the 2018 to 2020 Toyota Camry: 2018, 2019, 2020. Other years live on the main Camry wheel bearing page.
Displacement does not settle this one. Two cars can both say 2.5L on the badge and take different front hubs. WE61872 goes on the gas car, WE61873 on the hybrid.
The V6 shares the hybrid number rather than the gas one, the opposite of what most people guess. Check the powertrain, not the engine size, before ordering. The rear is not documented for these years on any version.
Year by year
2018, 2019 and 2020 sit under one listing with no year splits in this 2018 Toyota Camry wheel bearing generation. The only thing that changes the answer is which powertrain the car has.
The 2012 to 2017 Camry used handed rear hubs instead. Those were WE61015 on the left and WE61014 on the right, and that listing stops at 2017. It does not carry forward into this generation.
A different rear story than the last generation
The 2012 to 2017 Camry documented handed rear hubs, left and right as separate parts. That listing is covered on the 2012 to 2017 Camry page. It ends at 2017, and nothing replaces it here.
Powertrain, not drive type, is what splits the numbers on this generation instead. That distinction is laid out on how the drivetrain changes the job.
Diagnosing a 2018 Toyota Camry wheel bearing
- Identify the powertrain first. Gas, hybrid and V6 Camrys need different front hub numbers. Confirm this before anything else.
- Listen for the noise pattern. A worn bearing hums or grinds and changes pitch with speed. The sound often gets worse in a turn.
- Check for play at the wheel. Jack up the corner and grab the tire at twelve and six. Rock it to feel for looseness at the hub.
- Watch for an ABS light. Hub assemblies commonly carry the ABS sensor ring, so a bad bearing can trigger a code as well as a noise. See the hub and ABS sensor guide.
- Run a full check before ordering. Confirm the diagnosis with a full diagnostic walkthrough so the correct powertrain specific part gets ordered once.

Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2018 Toyota Camry use?
A 2018 Camry uses WE61872 as the front hub on the 2.5L gas engine. WE61873 covers both the hybrid and the 3.5L V6. The rear is not documented for that year.
What wheel bearing does a 2020 Toyota Camry use?
A 2020 Camry uses the identical numbers as 2018 and 2019. WE61872 covers 2.5L gas, and WE61873 covers hybrid and V6. Nothing changed inside this generation by year.
Do the gas and hybrid Camry use the same front hub?
No. The 2.5L gas car uses WE61872, and the 2.5L hybrid uses WE61873, even though both are labeled 2.5L. The badge does not settle the part number here.
Does the V6 Camry share a hub with the gas 2.5L or the hybrid?
The V6 shares WE61873 with the hybrid, not WE61872 from the gas car. Getting that pairing right is the main point of this 2018 Toyota Camry wheel bearing job.
Is the Camry rear documented for 2018 to 2020?
No. The rear is not documented for any powertrain in this span, so match the old part or the VIN. The 2012 to 2017 car’s handed rear hubs do not carry forward.
