Home › Vehicles › Audi › Audi Q5
The short version
- A Q5 wheel bearing is sold the European way: as a bearing kit with bolts, not an American-style numbered hub.
- The widely stocked front kit for 2009 to 2017 is the SKF BR930817K family, against Audi’s own 8K0407607.
- The rear runs the same logic with its own OEM number.
- The same kits serve the A4 and A5 of the era, which is where the availability comes from.
Search this vehicle the way this site usually teaches, by a five-digit hub number, and you will come up nearly empty. Audi plays by European rules, and the listings follow.
Kits, not hubs
A Q5 wheel bearing arrives as a sealed bearing unit with its stretch bolts, made to bolt into the carrier rather than arrive as a complete flanged hub.
The front kit widely stocked is SKF’s BR930817K, matching Audi’s 8K0407607; the rear follows the same pattern under its own numbers.

How European and American numbering differ is covered on the cross reference page.
Use the bolts in the box
These kits ship with fresh bolts because the originals are torque-to-yield and must not be reused.
Reusing stretched bolts on a wheel bearing is how hubs come loose. The kit includes them; use them.
Single-use hardware is explained on the single-use parts page.
The A4 underneath
The first Q5 rides the A4’s platform, and the bearing kits interchange across the A4, A5 and Q5 family. That sharing is what keeps a premium German part reasonably priced. The make overview is on the Audi page, with the sedan on the A4 page.
Diagnosing a Q5 wheel bearing
- Weave at highway speed, safely, and place the drone.
- Rule out the tires, since staggered performance rubber lies convincingly.
- Rock each wheel at twelve and six.
- Buy the kit, not a bare bearing, for the bolts alone.
- Check A4 and A5 listings when pricing.
The routine is on the checking page and the tire noise page.
Common questions
Which Q5 wheel bearing do I buy?
For the front, the BR930817K kit or Audi’s 8K0407607. The rear follows its own VIN-matched listing.
Why is there no 5-digit number like other pages here?
The American aftermarket never assigned this vehicle its usual numbering. European kits rule these listings.
Do A4 parts fit?
The kit families interchange across A4, A5 and Q5 of the era. Match years.
Do I need a press?
The kit bolts into the carrier, so no press in the traditional sense. The corner still comes apart properly.
Can I reuse the bolts?
No. They are stretch bolts, included fresh in the kit for exactly that reason.
What about the 2018 onward Q5?
New platform, new numbers, same kit logic. Match by VIN.
