Home › Vehicles › Cadillac › Cadillac Escalade › 2015-2020 Cadillac Escalade Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- The 2015 Cadillac Escalade wheel bearing lineup uses 515160 up front on four wheel drive trucks through 2018, and 515159 on two wheel drive trucks only through 2016.
- Two wheel drive front coverage ends two years before the four wheel drive listing runs out.
- Nothing is documented for the front after 2018, so 2019 and 2020 owners match the old part or run the VIN.
- The rear rides on a solid axle every year, so it is axle bearing territory rather than a wheel bearing number.
The 2015 Cadillac Escalade wheel bearing story runs through 2020 and ends earlier than the truck does. This page covers all six model years. Two wheel drive coverage stops first, four wheel drive follows two years later, and the last two years sit undocumented at the front.

This page covers the 2015 to 2020 Cadillac Escalade: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. Other years live on the main Cadillac Escalade wheel bearing page.
The two wheel drive front listing dies two years before the four wheel drive one, and nothing is documented at the front after 2018. Match the number the old part carries, or run the VIN, for 2017 through 2020 depending on drivetrain.
The rear never gets a wheel bearing number on this truck. It rides on a solid axle, which puts it in axle bearing territory rather than hub territory.
Year by year
2015 and 2016 are the only years with both drivetrains documented for the 2015 Cadillac Escalade wheel bearing lineup. Four wheel drive trucks take 515160, two wheel drive trucks take 515159.
2017 and 2018 narrow to four wheel drive only, still on 515160, while two wheel drive front sits undocumented. 2019 and 2020 are undocumented at the front for either drivetrain, and the rear stays axle bearing territory across the whole span.
Where this Escalade sits in the lineup
This body follows the 2007 to 2014 Escalade and, before that, the 2002 to 2006 Escalade. Neither older listing carries forward to this truck.
Diagnosing a Cadillac Escalade wheel bearing
- Listen for the sound. A worn front hub usually produces a rumble that builds with speed and shifts pitch in turns. 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 front tire off the ground, rock it at 12 and 6 o’clock. Looseness there points at the front hub.
- Watch the ABS light. The front hub carries the speed sensor, so a failing bearing can trip the ABS light before noise shows up.
- Confirm drivetrain before ordering. Two wheel drive and four wheel drive trucks split on both the number and the years it covers, so check which one sits under the truck.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2015 Cadillac Escalade use?
A 2015 Cadillac Escalade uses 515160 at the front on four wheel drive trucks and 515159 at the front on two wheel drive trucks. The rear is a solid axle, not a wheel bearing position.
What wheel bearing does a 2019 Cadillac Escalade use?
Nothing is documented for the front of a 2019 Cadillac Escalade. Match the number the old part carries or run the VIN.
Why does two wheel drive stop earlier than four wheel drive?
The catalogs simply document fewer years for two wheel drive trucks. That is the extent of what is stated, not a design change.
Does the Escalade rear ever get its own wheel bearing number?
Not across 2015 to 2020. This truck rides on a solid rear axle, which falls under axle bearing service rather than a hub wheel bearing number.
Can I use 2007 to 2014 Escalade numbers on this truck?
No. That body carries its own separate numbers and they do not fit the 2015 Cadillac Escalade wheel bearing lineup.
