The short version
- The 2019 Subaru Forester wheel bearing record documents the front only. WE61880 is the front hub assembly, shared with the Ascent and the WRX STI.
- The rear is not documented for 2019. It has to be matched off the old part or the VIN.
- WE61880 needs care in a cross reference. The same number is also the rear hub for the 2015 to 2020 Legacy and Outback, a different position on different cars.
- The 2014 to 2018 Forester ran different front numbers, WE61771 and WE61907, and neither carries into 2019.
The 2019 Forester’s wheel bearing record covers one end of the car and stops there. WE61880 is the front hub assembly, shared in the same entry with the Ascent and the WRX STI. The rear has no catalog listing for the year.

This page covers the 2019 Subaru Forester: 2019. Other years live on the main Forester wheel bearing page.
WE61880 needs care in a cross reference for two reasons. First, it breaks from the 2014 to 2018 Forester, which the catalogs list on WE61771 and WE61907 up front, Moog 513413, so the older number does not carry over. Second, the same WE61880 turns up as the rear hub for the 2015 to 2020 Legacy and Outback.
One number, two positions, two different vehicles. Read the position and the model on the listing, not just the digits. The Forester rear is not documented for 2019.
Year by year
2019 is a single documented year in this 2019 Subaru Forester wheel bearing record, with one front listing shared across three models. The rear has no listing for the year, and the 2014 to 2018 rear numbers stop before it.
Where the 2014 to 2018 Forester numbers stop
The 2014 to 2018 Forester documented WE61771 and WE61907 up front, listed by Moog as 513413, a generation covered on the 2014 to 2018 Forester page. Neither number reappears for 2019. WE61880 is a fresh entry shared with the Ascent and the WRX STI instead.
Nothing in the 2019 entry splits by drive type, which is unusual enough to note, since drive type narrows most bearing listings.
Diagnosing a 2019 Subaru Forester wheel bearing
- Start with the front. WE61880 is the only documented number on the car, and it covers the front hub. That is where the catalog trail begins.
- Listen for the noise pattern. A worn bearing hums or grinds and gets louder with speed. It usually points at the corner that is failing.
- 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 alongside the noise. Hub assemblies commonly carry the ABS sensor ring, so a failing bearing can trip a code too. See how the front hub ties to the ABS sensor.
- Run a full check before ordering for the rear. With no documented rear number, confirm the diagnosis by checking the bearing thoroughly first and match the old part.
