The short version
- A 2011 Chevy Traverse wheel bearing job for 2009-2017 is one hub, 513277, at all four corners on every trim and drivetrain.
- Front and rear use the identical part number on this generation.
- The Traverse itself starts in 2009, so any listing showing 2008 belongs to a platform twin, not this model.
- Nothing about the hub changes across all nine years of this body.
2009-2017 is nine years on one hub number, front and rear alike. A 2011 Chevy Traverse wheel bearing job at any corner of the truck uses the same part, 513277.
The core numbers
Front and rear: hub 513277, on every trim and every drivetrain.

This page covers the 2009-2017 Chevy Traverse: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017. Other years live on the main Traverse wheel bearing page.
One number at all four corners is unusual, and it trips people up. Drivers assume front and rear must use different parts and end up ordering two different hubs by mistake.
They do not differ here. 513277 covers front left, front right, rear left, and rear right on every 2009-2017 Traverse.
Year by year
2009 through 2017 use the identical hub number without exception. A 2011 Chevy Traverse wheel bearing job looks the same as a 2009 or a 2017 job.
One listing shows 513277 starting at 2008, which is actually the platform twin’s first year rather than the Traverse’s own. The Traverse itself starts in 2009.
No trim level or drivetrain variation changes the number across this entire run.
Where this generation sits in the lineup
The 2018 Traverse is a different body built on a different platform, and it carries its own hub number rather than 513277. See the 2018-2021 Traverse page for that generation’s numbers.
Nothing from this 2009-2017 body’s hub listing carries forward past the redesign, so do not reuse this number on a newer truck.
Diagnosing a Traverse wheel bearing
Wheel bearing noise on a crossover like this one is often confused with tire wear or a bad CV joint. Reading the difference between tire noise and a wheel bearing before pulling a hub can save an unnecessary parts order.
- 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.
- Spin the wheel by hand. Grinding or roughness through the spin points to a damaged hub bearing.
- Check all four corners the same way. Since the part is identical everywhere, isolating the actual noisy corner matters more than guessing by position.
- Watch for an ABS or wheel speed fault. Read more on how a bad bearing can trigger the ABS light before assuming the sensor itself has failed.
