Home › Vehicles › Chevy › Equinox › 2005-2009 Chevy Equinox Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- The 2005 Chevy Equinox wheel bearing setup opens the run with an ABS split: front hub 513189 with ABS, or 513190 without it.
- The 2005-2006 rear hub is documented only for ABS cars, at 512229. A non-ABS rear is not documented, so match the old part.
- 2007 changes both ends at once: front moves to 513276 and rear moves to 512358, with no more ABS split.
- 2008 and 2009 carry the 2007 numbers forward unchanged.
Same body, two different part sets. The first two years of this Equinox and the last three run on completely separate front and rear numbers. A 2005 Chevy Equinox wheel bearing order needs an ABS check that later years do not.

This page covers the 2005-2009 Chevy Equinox: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. Other years live on the main Chevy Equinox wheel bearing page.
2005-2006 and 2007-2009 are different part sets even though the body looks unchanged from the outside. The 2005 Chevy Equinox wheel bearing chart above stops applying the moment the calendar turns to 2007.
2005-2006 also carries its own ABS check at the front, and the non-ABS rear for those years has no documented number at all.
Year by year
2005 and 2006 need an ABS answer at both ends. Front is 513189 with ABS or 513190 without. Rear is 512229 with ABS, and match the old part without it.
2007 is the changeover. Every car, regardless of ABS, moves to front hub 513276 and rear hub 512358.
2008 and 2009 change nothing. The 2007 pair carries straight through to the end of this generation.
One body, two part sets
The Equinox kept its exterior largely the same across 2005 through 2009, which makes the 2007 parts changeover easy to miss. The ABS question that mattered in 2005-2006 disappears entirely once 2007 arrives.
The next Equinox generation starts fresh again, with its own numbers covered on the 2010-2017 Equinox page. Nothing there carries back to this body.
Diagnosing a 2005-2009 Equinox wheel bearing
- Jack up the corner and check for play. Grip the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock with the wheel off the ground and rock it. Full steps are on how to check a wheel bearing.
- Listen for a hum that shifts in turns. A worn hub often changes pitch leaning one direction, a pattern covered on wheel bearing noise in turns.
- Rule out the tires before condemning the hub. Cupped or uneven tread can mimic bearing noise at highway speed, as explained on tire noise or wheel bearing.
- Confirm the year before checking ABS. The ABS split only matters on a 2005-2006 car. 2007 and later cars skip that question entirely.
- Watch for an ABS light on a 2005-2006 car. A failing hub with an integrated sensor can trip a fault before the noise gets obvious, covered on bad bearing and the ABS light.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2005 Chevy Equinox use?
A 2005 Chevy Equinox wheel bearing order needs an ABS check up front: 513189 with ABS, 513190 without. The rear is 512229 with ABS, and the non-ABS rear is not documented, so match the old part.
What wheel bearing does a 2007 Chevy Equinox use?
A 2007 Equinox uses front hub 513276 and rear hub 512358. There is no ABS split at this point, unlike the 2005-2006 cars.
Do 2005 and 2008 Equinox models share the same wheel bearing?
No. 2005-2006 runs on its own front and rear numbers with an ABS split. 2008 runs on the 2007-2009 numbers instead, with no split at all.
Is the non-ABS rear hub documented for a 2006 Equinox?
No. The catalogs list a rear hub for ABS cars only, 512229, for 2005-2006. A non-ABS rear needs the old part matched.
Why did the Equinox wheel bearing numbers change in 2007?
The catalogs do not give a reason. They simply show a new front and rear pair starting in 2007 that carries through 2009 unchanged.
