wheelbearing.net is an independent reference for wheel bearings and hub assemblies. It exists because one question turns out to be surprisingly hard to answer well: which part actually fits my car. Most places that answer it are trying to sell you something at the same time.
This site is not a parts seller. It is not run by, sponsored by, or affiliated with any bearing manufacturer or retailer.
What is on the site
The reference covers 41 vehicle makes, 348 models, and 425 individual year ranges. Each vehicle page carries the front and rear part numbers documented for it. The numbers are split by the things that actually change the answer.
Those splits are the whole point. Drivetrain, brake package, ring gear size, ABS type, stud count, trim, and mid year design changes all move the number. Getting one of them wrong is how people end up returning parts.
Alongside the vehicle pages there are guides on diagnosis, noise, replacement cost, torque specs, and the procedures themselves.
Where the numbers come from
The backbone is four independent printed application catalogs from major bearing manufacturers. Numbers are cross checked between them before a page goes up. The full process is on the methodology page.
Sometimes those catalogs disagree with each other. When they do, the page says so, and tells you how to settle it for your own vehicle. Averaging a disagreement away would defeat the purpose of the site.
What this site will not do
It will not guess. Print catalogs thin out after 2018 and stop at model year 2020. Plenty of newer vehicles have no documented row in any of the sources.
Where that happens, the page says the data does not exist. It then tells you how to find your answer instead, usually by matching the number on the old part or by running the VIN. An honest gap is more useful than a confident guess.
It also does not claim hands on testing it has not done. Nothing here is written as though a part was fitted in a workshop. That is not how this reference was built.
How the site pays for itself
Some links to retailers are affiliate links. A purchase made through one may earn the site a commission, at no extra cost to you. Every page carrying such links says so on the page itself.
What a page recommends is never influenced by what earns a commission. The numbers come from the catalogs. A part with no affiliate link available is listed exactly like one with a link.
The full policy is on the affiliate disclosure page.
Corrections
If a number here disagrees with what came off your vehicle, that is worth knowing about. Corrections are welcome through the contact page. The site gets better every time a reader checks a number against a real car.
Who writes this site
The Wheel Bearing Editorial Team researches, builds and edits wheelbearing.net. Every part number on the site is transcribed from manufacturer and distributor catalogs (Moog, Timken, SKF, National, BCA/NTN) rather than generated, and every vehicle page is checked against the catalog rows before it goes live. When two catalogs disagree, the page shows both readings and tells you to match the old part or the VIN.
Corrections are welcome through the contact page. When a reader reports a mismatch, the catalog row is rechecked and the page is updated with the date shown at the top of every article.
