The short version
- The 2006 Chevy Silverado wheel bearing setup spans the whole 1999-2006 run. 2WD front hub is 515054 on 16 inch wheels, or 515071 on 17 inch wheels for 2005 through 2007 Classic trucks. 4WD front hub is 515036.
- 1500HD trucks built 2001-2007 use their own front hubs: 515086 for 2WD and 515058 for 4WD with 8 lug wheels.
- The rear is a solid axle on every truck in this range. There is no rear hub assembly to order.
- 2007 was built twice. Classic-body 2007 Silverados keep every number on this page, while the redesigned 2007 body moves to different hubs.
The 1999 through 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 runs on GMT800 platform hardware. GM kept building that same body into 2007 as the Classic. A 2006 Chevy Silverado wheel bearing order comes down to drivetrain first, then wheel size on later 2WD trucks.

This page covers the 1999-2006 Chevy Silverado 1500: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. Other years live on the main Silverado wheel bearing page.
2007 was built twice. Classic-body 2007 Silverados keep every 1999-2006 number above. The redesigned 2007 body switches to different hubs, covered on the 2007-2013 Silverado page.
The 2WD front also splits by wheel size starting in 2005. Catalogs show 515053 superseded by 515054 on 2003-2006 rows; the current number is 515054.
Year by year
1999 and 2000 trucks use one number per drivetrain: 515054 for 2WD and 515036 for 4WD. There is no HD row yet and no wheel size split.
2001 through 2004 keep the same 2WD and 4WD hubs. The 1500HD arrives in 2001, adding 515086 for 2WD and 515058 for 4WD.
2005 and 2006 add the wheel size split: 515054 for 16 inch wheels, 515071 for 17 inch. The 2006 Chevy Silverado wheel bearing chart then carries into the 2007 Classic unchanged.
A GMT800 truck with a solid rear axle
This generation shares its front hub design with other GMT800 trucks and SUVs of the era. The 4WD and HD variants add stud count and hub bore differences. That keeps their numbers separate from the base 2WD truck.
The rear end on every 1999-2006 Silverado 1500 is a semi-floating solid axle. There is no rear hub assembly to buy, and rear work follows a different procedure than a front hub swap.
Diagnosing a 1999-2006 Silverado wheel bearing
- Jack up the front wheel and check for play. Grip the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock with the wheel off the ground and rock it. See how to check a wheel bearing for the full method.
- Listen for a hum that shifts in turns. A worn front hub often changes pitch leaning one way versus the other. That pattern is detailed on wheel bearing noise in turns.
- Rule out the tires before condemning the hub. Cupped tread can mimic bearing noise at highway speed. The distinction is covered on tire noise or wheel bearing.
- Confirm 2WD or 4WD before ordering. The front hub number depends entirely on drivetrain. See drive type and wheel bearings for why.
- Treat rear noise as an axle question, not a hub question. These trucks carry a solid rear axle. Rear diagnosis follows axle bearing versus wheel bearing instead.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2006 Chevy Silverado use?
A 2006 Chevy Silverado wheel bearing order splits by drivetrain and wheel size. 2WD trucks use 515054 on 16 inch wheels or 515071 on 17 inch wheels. 4WD trucks use 515036.
What wheel bearing does a 1999 Chevy Silverado use?
A 1999 Silverado uses 515054 for 2WD or 515036 for 4WD. There is no wheel size split yet and no HD row, since both arrive later in the run.
Is the Silverado rear wheel bearing serviceable?
These trucks run a semi-floating solid axle at the rear, not a hub assembly. There is no rear hub part number on this page. Rear work is axle bearing territory, a different job than a front hub swap.
What is the wheel bearing part number for a 1500HD Silverado?
1500HD trucks built 2001-2007 use 515086 on 2WD or 515058 on 4WD with 8 lug wheels. These are separate parts from the base 1500 hubs above.
Does a 2007 Silverado use the same wheel bearing as 2006?
Only if it is a Classic. The 2007 Classic carries forward every 2006 Chevy Silverado wheel bearing number, front and rear axle setup included. A redesigned 2007 truck uses different hubs entirely.
