This page covers the 1995 to 1998 Chevy Silverado. 1998 Chevy Silverado wheel bearings depend on stud count as much as year. Front hub numbers split by stud count and ABS type; the rear depends on the axle underneath.
The core numbers for this Silverado
The eight stud 4×4 hub, 515041, is the other half of the 1998 Chevy Silverado wheel bearings picture. It only arrives in 1996.
Two wheel ABS trucks take handed hubs. SP580303 goes on the left, SP580302 on the right, also starting in 1996.

This page covers the 1995-1998 Chevy Silverado: 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998. Other years live on the main Chevy Silverado wheel bearing page.
One sorts the 4×4 front hub by stud count, six versus eight. The other sorts it by ABS type, two wheel versus four wheel, and those hubs are handed left and right.
Count the studs, check the ABS type, and match the number the old part carries.
Year by year
1995 trucks only offer the six stud 4×4 front hub, 515024. Four wheel ABS trucks that year take SP550307.
1996 through 1998 add the eight stud hub, 515041, plus the handed two wheel ABS pair, SP580303 left and SP580302 right. The six stud and four wheel ABS numbers carry on unchanged.
2WD trucks run the same serviceable sets across all four years, split only by gas or diesel. The rear axle bearing choice tracks the ring gear size the whole generation.
Where this generation sits
This page is one of three 1998 Chevy Silverado wheel bearings pages covering the truck by generation. Earlier trucks, 1988 to 1994, run their own front hub numbers on the 1988 to 1994 page. Later trucks, 1999 to 2006, use different numbers on the 1999 to 2006 page.
Numbers do not cross those boundaries. Within this generation the 2WD serviceable sets can be repacked rather than replaced outright, see repacking a wheel bearing.
Diagnosing a Chevy Silverado wheel bearing
- Listen for the pattern. A worn bearing tends to hum or growl and changes pitch with speed. A tire issue usually stays constant.
- Turn the wheel while parked. Noise that gets loudest turning one direction points at that side’s bearing.
- Check for an ABS light on 4×4 trucks. A failed ABS hub sensor often trips a warning light before the noise gets bad, covered on the ABS light page.
- Jack up the corner and check for play. Grab the tire at 12 and 6 oclock and rock it to feel looseness.
- Count the studs before ordering. Six stud and eight stud 4×4 hubs are not interchangeable.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 1995 Chevy Silverado use?
A 1995 4×4 with the six stud hub takes 515024. A four wheel ABS truck takes SP550307, and 2WD trucks use SET5 and SET3 on gas or SET45 and 15103S-15243 on diesel.
What wheel bearing does a 1998 Chevy Silverado use?
1998 Chevy Silverado wheel bearings depend on configuration: 515024 for six stud 4×4, 515041 for eight stud 4×4. Two wheel ABS trucks use SP580303 and SP580302, four wheel ABS trucks use SP550307, and 2WD trucks stay on the same serviceable sets as 1995.
How do I know if my Silverado has a six stud or eight stud front hub?
Count the lug studs on the front wheel with the wheel off. Six stud hubs use 515024, eight stud hubs use 515041, and the number does not carry between them.
Are the front and rear wheel bearings the same on this truck?
No. The front hardware is a hub assembly or serviceable tapered set, and the rear is an axle bearing behind the axle seal, detailed on the axle bearing versus wheel bearing page.
What is the sensor kit SK550301 for?
SK550301 is the ABS sensor kit paired with the SP550307 four wheel ABS hub. It is separate from the bearing itself, and covered on the hub assembly ABS sensor page.
