The short version
- A 2015 Acura TLX wheel bearing at the rear is 512562 with SH-AWD or 512544 on front wheel drive.
- That rear split holds from 2015 through 2019.
- The front is never documented for any year, 2015 through 2020, so match the old part or the VIN.
- 2020 rears also drop out of the catalogs, joining the front in that same category.
Acura sold the TLX from 2015 through 2020. A 2015 Acura TLX wheel bearing tells almost the whole story for this model. The rear is documented and splits cleanly by drivetrain, while the front is not documented at all.
2015 to 2020 Acura TLX wheel bearing numbers
A 2015 Acura TLX wheel bearing in the rear takes 512562 on SH-AWD models or 512544 on front wheel drive models. That split runs through 2019.
The front hub has no confirmed listing in any year this car was sold, which makes it the real gap on this page.

This page covers the 2015-2020 Acura TLX: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. Other years live on the main Acura TLX wheel bearing page.
The catalogs document only the rears on this car, and even that stops after 2019. Every front, on every year, is a genuine gap.
For the front on any year, or the rear on a 2020 model, the fix is the same. Match the number the old part carries or run the VIN.
Year by year
2015 through 2019 rears split by drivetrain, SH-AWD on 512562 and FWD on 512544. A 2015 Acura TLX wheel bearing at the rear is the earliest documented year of that split.
2020 rears and every front from 2015 through 2020 fall outside the catalogs. All of those need matching to the old part or the VIN.
A sedan with two drivetrains and one documented end
The TLX sold with both SH-AWD and front wheel drive throughout its run, and only the rear hub reflects that split in the catalogs. Reading drive type and wheel bearings covers the SH-AWD versus FWD divide before ordering a rear.
The front staying undocumented across every year is unusual, but it is what the catalogs actually show.
Diagnosing an Acura TLX wheel bearing
- Listen for a hum at speed. A worn bearing produces a steady drone that grows louder as road speed increases.
- Check the sound in a turn. A bearing under load often shifts tone in one direction, a pattern covered at wheel bearing noise while turning.
- Confirm SH-AWD or FWD before ordering a rear. The badge on the trunk or the build sheet settles which rear number applies.
- Rock the wheel for play. With the tire off the ground, grip it top and bottom and check for looseness at the hub.
- Match the old part on any front. Following how to check a wheel bearing and comparing the worn hub’s own casting number is the only reliable path on an undocumented front.
