The short version
- 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber wheel bearing coverage documents the front for one year only: 2009, at 513263. The 2007 Dodge Caliber wheel bearing front is not documented, so match the old part or run the VIN.
- AWD R/T rears take their own number, 512333, and only exist in 2007 and 2008.
- FWD rears split by ABS through 2010: 512332 with ABS, 512331 without. From 2011 every car takes 512332.
- Never stretch the 2009 front listing to other years; the catalogs document that year alone.
The 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber only gets a documented front wheel bearing number in one model year, 2009. Every other year, including the 2007 Dodge Caliber wheel bearing case, is a gap. The rear tells a fuller story, split by drivetrain and ABS.

This page covers the 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012. Other years live on the main Caliber wheel bearing page.
The catalogs document the front for 2009 only, even though this car looks identical for six years. Never stretch that listing to 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, or 2012.
A sedan cousin shares this same front number across more model years. Order strictly from this car’s rows above, not from the sedan’s span.
AWD R/T rears are their own number and exist only in 2007 and 2008.
Year by year
2007 and 2008 add the AWD R/T rear, 512333, on top of the FWD ABS split, 512332 or 512331. The front is not documented either year.
2009 is the one documented front year, at 513263. The rear keeps the same FWD ABS split, but the AWD rear is gone.
2010 keeps the FWD ABS split in the rear, 512332 or 512331, with the front still undocumented.
2011 and 2012 settle the rear on a single number, 512332. The front remains a gap for these last two years too.
Why the Caliber front looks thin
This car shares its front hub family with a Dodge sedan of the same era. That sedan’s listing runs across more years, but this page covers only the Caliber’s own catalogs.
A 2007 Dodge Caliber wheel bearing front job still has to go by the old part or the VIN. That holds regardless of what a lookup shows for the sedan.
Diagnosing a Dodge Caliber wheel bearing
- Confirm the drivetrain. AWD versus FWD decides which rear family applies, especially in 2007 and 2008.
- Check for ABS. FWD rears split by ABS through 2010; confirm whether the hub carries the ABS sensor before ordering.
- Listen for the noise. A failing bearing usually hums or grinds, growing louder with speed. This guide to wheel bearing noise on turns explains how the sound shifts side to side.
- Rule out the tires. Uneven tire wear can mimic a bearing noise closely. This comparison separates the two.
- Match the old front bearing outside 2009. Since only 2009 is documented, read the stamped numbers or run the VIN for every other year.
