The short version
- Every 2007 to 2011 Dodge Nitro, including a 2007 Dodge Nitro wheel bearing job, uses one front hub number for every drivetrain: 513270.
- The rear is a solid axle with pressed shaft bearings and a seal, not a hub assembly. No rear hub number exists.
- Front coverage never splits by two wheel drive versus four wheel drive across the whole five year run.
- The rear falls under axle bearing territory rather than the wheel bearing catalogs.
From 2007 through 2011, Dodge sold the Nitro with a solid rear axle underneath. That changes how the rear gets diagnosed and ordered. A 2007 Dodge Nitro wheel bearing job up front is identical no matter the drivetrain.
The Nitro wheel bearing numbers at a glance
The front hub bearing, 513270, covers every 2007 to 2011 Nitro regardless of two wheel drive or four wheel drive.
The rear uses pressed shaft bearings inside a solid axle housing, which is axle bearing territory, not a hub swap.

This page covers the 2007-2011 Dodge Nitro: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011. Other years live on the main Nitro wheel bearing page.
The rear axle uses pressed shaft bearings with a seal rather than a bolt on hub. There is no single rear wheel bearing part number to order here.
A 2007 Dodge Nitro wheel bearing search that turns up a rear hub listing is describing a different vehicle. Work from axle bearing listings for the rear instead.
Year by year
The front number, 513270, holds steady across all five years and both drivetrains. Nothing about the rear axle setup changed between 2007 and 2011 either. A 2007 Dodge Nitro wheel bearing order up front works the same for a 2011.
A base SXT and a top trim Nitro both draw from the same front row.
Front wheel drive and four wheel drive share the front
The Nitro offered both two wheel drive and four wheel drive across its run. On many vehicles, drivetrain changes wheel bearing coverage. Here it does not: the front hub number stays 513270 either way.
That makes the front the simple end of this truck, while the solid rear axle is the part most owners have not dealt with before.
Diagnosing a Dodge Nitro wheel bearing
- Start at the front corners. A hum that rises with road speed usually points to the front hub bearing.
- Jack up each front wheel. Rock it at 12 and 6 o’clock, feeling for play in the hub itself.
- Listen for rear axle noise separately. A grinding or whining rear sound points toward the axle shaft bearing, not a hub.
- Check for fluid at the rear seal. A leaking axle seal often accompanies a worn shaft bearing back there.
- Run a full check before ordering. A complete diagnostic walkthrough keeps front and rear symptoms from getting mixed up.
Common questions
What is the 2007 Dodge Nitro wheel bearing part number?
Front is 513270 for every drivetrain. The rear is a solid axle with pressed shaft bearings. It gets ordered from axle listings instead of a single wheel bearing number.
Does the 2011 Nitro use the same front wheel bearing as the 2007?
Yes. Both use 513270 up front, with no change across the five year run.
Does the Dodge Nitro rear wheel bearing have its own part number?
No. The rear is a solid axle with pressed shaft bearings and a seal. That falls under axle bearing coverage, not a hub listing.
Is the Dodge Nitro front wheel bearing the same on two wheel drive and four wheel drive?
Yes. Both drivetrains share the identical front hub number across all five model years.
Why does a solid axle change how the Nitro rear bearing is replaced?
A solid axle houses the shaft bearing inside the axle tube itself. That work is closer to axle service than a bolt on hub swap.
