- 2010 through 2013 add the 3.0 liter engine. It joins the 3.6 liter on the same 513282 listing.
- 2014 splits by body style and drivetrain: coupe, all wheel drive sedan, and rear wheel drive sedan each get their own front number.

This page covers the 2008-2014 Cadillac CTS: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. Other years live on the main Cadillac CTS wheel bearing page.
513282 legitimately serves both ends of this car on most years. That is what the catalogs document.
The catalogs also carry an older five stud rear listing, 512223. It overlaps the same 2008 to 2011 years as 513282, so match the number the old part carries.
Year by year
2008 and 2009 run on 513282 at both axles. A parallel Timken listing, HA590260, also covers front and rear those two years. A 2008 CTS wheel bearing could be listed under either number depending on the catalog.
2010 through 2013 add the 3.0 liter engine to the same 513282 listing, with no change at either axle. 2011 also carries a separate six stud rear hub listing, 512243, alongside the ongoing five stud 512223 listing.
2014 breaks the single number pattern. The coupe keeps 513282 front and rear. The sedan splits by drivetrain instead: 513288 for all wheel drive, 513393 for rear wheel drive.
From one number to three in a single year
This CTS follows the earlier 2003 to 2007 Cadillac CTS wheel bearing page. None of that generation’s numbers, including its CTS-V listings, carry forward to this body.
Counting studs matters here too. The five stud and six stud rear listings from 2008 to 2011 are easy to mix up. A 2008 CTS wheel bearing job should always start with that check.
Diagnosing a Cadillac CTS wheel bearing
- Confirm the model year and body style. 2014 sedans and coupes do not share a front number.
- On a 2014 sedan, confirm drivetrain. All wheel drive and rear wheel drive sedans use different front hubs that year.
- On 2008 to 2011 rears, count the studs. Five stud and six stud hubs both appear in this window.
- Listen for a speed related growl. See how to check a wheel bearing for the basic routine.
- Check the noise in a turn. Wheel bearing noise on turns often shifts louder toward one side.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2008 CTS use?
A 2008 CTS wheel bearing is 513282 at both the front and the rear. A parallel Timken listing, HA590260, covers the same positions. Match the number the old part carries.
What wheel bearing does a 2012 Cadillac CTS use?
A 2012 CTS uses 513282 at both axles. That single listing covers both the 3.6 liter and the 3.0 liter engine that year.
Why does the front and rear use the same number on this CTS?
The catalogs document 513282 as a shared listing for both axles on most years of this generation. That is the correct documented answer, not an error.
Does the 2014 CTS use a different wheel bearing than earlier years?
Yes. The coupe keeps 513282, the all wheel drive sedan moves to 513288, and the rear wheel drive sedan moves to 513393.
How do I know if my 2010 CTS rear hub has five or six studs?
Count the studs on the hub itself. Both patterns appear in overlapping years on this generation. The model year alone will not tell you which one is on the car.
