This page covers the 2014 to 2020 Acura MDX: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. Other years live on the main Acura MDX wheel bearing page.
Drivetrain decides the rear on this body, not the model year alone. Front wheel drive and all wheel drive take different numbers in the 2014 to 2016 span. The same split repeats in the 2017 to 2019 span.
The front is an honest gap for the entire run, 2014 through 2020. 2020 is also a gap at the rear, since Moog’s listing stops at 2019.
Year by year
The 2014 Acura MDX wheel bearing question always starts with drivetrain, not year. 2014 through 2016 split the rear: 512527 front wheel drive, 512531 all wheel drive. 2017 through 2019 keep the same drivetrain split but change both numbers to 512628 and 512629.
2020 is a gap at both ends. The front was never documented, and the rear listing stops one year short.
Where this MDX sits in the lineup
This body follows the 2007 to 2013 MDX. That earlier body used one number at each end instead of a drivetrain split. Numbers do not carry across that seam.
Diagnosing an Acura MDX wheel bearing
- Listen for the sound. A worn wheel bearing produces a rumble that grows louder with speed. Compare it against this guide to turning noise.
- Rule out tires first. Uneven wear can sound similar to a bad bearing. This comparison covers the difference.
- Check for play at the wheel. With the wheel off the ground, rock it at 12 and 6 o’clock. Looseness there points at the hub.
- Watch the ABS light. A failing bearing can trip the ABS light before it ever gets loud.
- Confirm the drivetrain before ordering the rear. Front wheel drive and all wheel drive take different numbers in both eras on this body. See how drivetrain affects the wheel bearing you need.
