Home › Vehicles › Cadillac › Cadillac SRX › 2004-2009 Cadillac SRX Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- The 2004 to 2009 Cadillac SRX splits its front by drivetrain, not by year. A 2008 Cadillac SRX wheel bearing up front is 513198 on all wheel drive or 513197 on rear wheel drive.
- The rear is one number, 512243, for every year and every drivetrain.
- Nothing changes by model year across this whole run, only by which drivetrain the truck has.
- Confirm all wheel drive or rear wheel drive before ordering the front.
This page covers the 2004 to 2009 Cadillac SRX, a truck where drivetrain, not model year, decides the front wheel bearing. A 2008 Cadillac SRX wheel bearing up front is 513198 if the truck is all wheel drive or 513197 if it is rear wheel drive. The rear does not split at all.
Cadillac SRX front and rear wheel bearing numbers
All wheel drive fronts run 513198 for all six years. Rear wheel drive fronts run 513197 for the same six years.
The rear ignores drivetrain entirely: 512243 covers every SRX built from 2004 through 2009.

This page covers the 2004 to 2009 Cadillac SRX: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. Other years live on the main Cadillac SRX wheel bearing page.
The front splits by drivetrain, not by year. Check whether the truck is all wheel drive or rear wheel drive before ordering, since the model year alone will not tell you.
513197 also shows up in listings for another Cadillac’s V model, so order from this truck’s own row rather than a number remembered elsewhere.
Year by year
There are no year changes across this generation. Every model year from 2004 to 2009 resolves the same way, by drivetrain alone.
All wheel drive trucks take 513198 up front in every one of those years. Rear wheel drive trucks take 513197.
A 2008 Cadillac SRX wheel bearing follows that same pattern. The rear stays at 512243 regardless of drivetrain or year.
A drivetrain split that outlasts the generation
This front split by drivetrain is the defining fact of the whole run. See how drive type affects wheel bearing wear for why all wheel drive and rear wheel drive fronts differ.
None of these three numbers carry forward. The next generation, at the 2010 to 2016 Cadillac SRX page, uses one number for all four corners instead.
Diagnosing a Cadillac SRX wheel bearing
- Confirm the drivetrain first. All wheel drive and rear wheel drive fronts use different numbers. This is the single fact that matters most here.
- Listen for a hum that builds with speed. A worn front or rear bearing typically grows louder the faster the truck moves.
- Rule out the tires. Compare the noise against tire noise versus a wheel bearing before buying a part.
- Check for play at the wheel. Follow the standard wheel bearing check with the wheel off the ground.
- Confirm before ordering the rear too. Even though it is one number, verify the position and side before checkout.
Common questions
What is the 2008 Cadillac SRX wheel bearing number up front?
A 2008 Cadillac SRX wheel bearing at the front is 513198 on all wheel drive trucks or 513197 on rear wheel drive trucks.
What wheel bearing does a 2005 Cadillac SRX use at the rear?
The rear on a 2005 SRX is 512243. That same number covers the entire 2004 to 2009 run regardless of drivetrain.
Does the SRX front change with the model year?
No. The front only changes with drivetrain, all wheel drive or rear wheel drive, and stays constant across every year from 2004 to 2009.
Is 513197 unique to the SRX?
No. That number also serves another Cadillac’s V model, so order it based on this truck’s own row rather than by memory.
Do these numbers carry into the next SRX generation?
No. The 2010 to 2016 SRX moves to its own single number for front and rear alike, and none of these three carry forward.
