The short version
- A 2013 Cadillac XTS wheel bearing is number 513288, covering every XTS built from 2013 through 2016.
- 2017 splits by the J55 brake package: 515160 with it, 513288 without it.
- 2018 and 2019 have no documented listing, so match the old part or run the VIN.
- The number never depends on FWD versus AWD, only on year and brake package.
Cadillac built the XTS from 2013 through 2019. For most of that run, a 2013 Cadillac XTS wheel bearing and every XTS wheel bearing after it share one number. The catalogs only complicate things at 2017 and again at the end of the run.
2013 to 2019 Cadillac XTS wheel bearing numbers
A 2013 Cadillac XTS wheel bearing, 513288, stays the same part through the 2016 model year. Trim and drivetrain do not matter.
The number only branches once the J55 brake package enters the picture on the 2017 car. It disappears from the catalogs entirely on 2018 and 2019 models.

This page covers the 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019. Other years live on the main Cadillac XTS wheel bearing page.
The 2017 XTS is the one year that needs a second look. Check the build sticker for J55 before ordering, since it decides between 515160 and 513288.
For 2018 and 2019, the catalogs we hold stop short. Match the number the old part carries or run the VIN.
Year by year
A 2013 Cadillac XTS wheel bearing sits on one number, 513288. That row covers every year through 2016 with no branching. 2017 is the split year, decided by the J55 brake package.
2018 and 2019 have no listing in the catalogs. Those years get matched off the old part or the VIN.
One number covering most of a seven year run
The XTS ran from 2013 through 2019 as a single generation. The number 513288 covers every year except the 2017 brake package split. Confirming a worn bearing with how to check a wheel bearing avoids paying twice on a 2017 car.
Diagnosing a Cadillac XTS wheel bearing
- Listen at highway speed. A worn bearing usually makes a steady hum that grows louder with speed.
- Note whether the sound shifts in corners. A bearing problem tends to change pitch in a turn, unlike tire noise or a wheel bearing issue from cupped tread.
- Jack the corner and check for play. Grip the tire at opposing points and rock it to feel looseness.
- Check for a turning sound pattern. A sound that swells while turning one direction points at wheel bearing noise while turning.
- Check play against spec. Comparing the play with preload and end play figures confirms the hub is worn before buying a 2017 number.
