The short version
- A Kizashi wheel bearing at the rear splits on drivetrain, 512487 for front wheel drive and 513290 for all wheel drive.
- The front is cited as 513333 across the whole 2010 to 2013 run, with no split.
- Suzuki left the American market in 2013, which changes nothing about hub supply.
- These were sold in small numbers, so search the part number rather than the model name.
This was Suzuki’s last serious attempt at a mid size car in America, and it sold in small numbers before the brand withdrew. Neither fact makes the hubs hard to buy.
The drivetrain split
512487 is cited for front wheel drive rears and 513290 for all wheel drive across 2010 to 2013.
Look underneath for a driveshaft running back to a rear differential.
The front is cited as 513333 regardless, so the question only applies at the back.

Low volume changes how you search
A model that sold in small numbers has few listings filed under its own badge, however common the hub itself is.
513290 in particular turns up under other applications, so a number search returns far more than a model search.
That habit matters more here than on a mainstream car. The make overview is on the Suzuki page.
What withdrawal actually changed
Suzuki stopped selling cars in the United States in 2013, but the cars stayed on the road and hub assemblies are high volume wear items.
What you lose is the dealer counter. What you keep is every independent listing, which for a hub is the larger market anyway.
A withdrawn brand is not a dead part number.
All wheel drive and tires
On an all wheel drive car, mismatched tread depths make the system work constantly, and that produces a hum very like a bearing.
Measure all four before condemning a hub. That is on the tire noise page.
Doing the job
Bolt on hubs at both ends mean no press and modest labor.
Torque the axle nut to spec afterward, because that nut sets the preload on a fresh unit.
Those are on the torque specs page and the tools pillar.
Diagnosing a Kizashi wheel bearing
- Confirm the drivetrain before ordering a rear part.
- Search by number rather than by model name.
- Measure tread depth on all four if it is all wheel drive.
- Weave at road speed and note which side loads the noise.
- Rock the wheel at twelve and six.
Those are on the checking page.
Common questions
Which Kizashi wheel bearing do I need?
513333 at the front. At the rear, 512487 for front wheel drive and 513290 for all wheel drive.
Can I still buy parts for a withdrawn brand?
Yes. The dealers went but the aftermarket kept supplying hubs.
Why do listings look so thin?
The car sold in small numbers. Search the part number instead of the model name.
Could mismatched tires be the noise?
On an all wheel drive car, easily. Measure tread depths first.
Do I need a press?
No. These use bolt on hub units.
Does the front split at all?
No. 513333 covers the whole run.
Should I replace both sides?
Only what is worn.
