The short version
- A 2007 Chevy Avalanche wheel bearing job for 2007-2013 uses front hub 515096 on 4WD or 515097 on 2WD, with a solid rear axle.
- Both numbers hold steady across the entire seven year run.
- 2013 is the Avalanche’s final model year; there is no later generation to confuse it with.
- The same two numbers also serve the Suburban and Tahoe of the era, so a counter lookup may show a different badge.

This page covers the 2007-2013 Chevy Avalanche: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013. Other years live on the main Chevy Avalanche wheel bearing page.
2013 is the Avalanche’s last model year, so there is no later generation to mix these numbers up with. The same two numbers, though, also serve the Suburban and Tahoe of the era.
A counter lookup can show a different badge attached to the same part. Confirm the number matches rather than rejecting it for showing the wrong vehicle name, since the hardware underneath is identical.
Year by year
One 4WD number and one 2WD number cover all seven years, 2007 through 2013, without a change.
A 2007 Chevy Avalanche wheel bearing order looks identical to one placed for the final 2013 truck. Nothing about the fitment shifts partway through this run.
Where this generation sits in the Avalanche lineup
The 2002-2006 Avalanche splits its half ton front hubs from its three quarter ton parts, a weight class distinction that carries no weight here. This page’s two numbers answer only to drivetrain.
The rear axle setup is a separate subject from hub replacement. Read axle bearing versus wheel bearing before ordering rear parts, since the two jobs use different tools entirely.
Diagnosing a Chevy Avalanche wheel bearing
- Listen for a speed-sensitive hum. A failing hub bearing changes pitch with road speed and grows louder in a curve.
- Jack up the noisy corner. Grip the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock and rock it to check for play at the hub.
- Confirm 2WD or 4WD before ordering. 515096 and 515097 are not interchangeable between drivetrains.
- Check the ABS light. A worn hub can damage its sensor and trigger a bad bearing ABS light.
- Don’t reject a part for showing the wrong badge. The same numbers serve related GM trucks of the era, so match the number, not the vehicle name printed at the counter.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2007 Chevy Avalanche use?
A 2007 Chevy Avalanche wheel bearing is front hub 515096 on 4WD or 515097 on 2WD, plus a solid rear axle.
Is the front hub the same on a 2007 Avalanche as a 2013 one?
Yes. 515096 and 515097 hold across the entire 2007-2013 run with no changes by year.
Why does a parts counter show a different vehicle for this number?
515096 and 515097 also serve the Suburban and Tahoe of the era. Match the number rather than the badge printed on the listing, and treat the vehicle name as a secondary check.
Is there a later Avalanche generation with a different number?
No. 2013 is the Avalanche’s final model year, so there is no newer generation to confuse this listing with at all.
Is the rear bearing on this Avalanche a hub assembly?
No. The rear axle is a solid axle setup with no hub assembly on any 2007-2013 Avalanche, 4WD or 2WD.
