The short version
- Sedan and coupe are two different cars underneath, so every Stratus wheel bearing order starts with the body style.
- Sedan front is 513138 across the entire 1995 to 2006 run. Coupe front is 513157.
- Sedan rears split by ABS: 512220 with, 512154 without.
- The coupe rear, 512136, is a Mitsubishi part in all but name.
Two doors or four? On most cars that changes nothing about the hubs. On this one it changes everything, because the Stratus coupe is a Mitsubishi Eclipse under the skin while the sedan is pure Chrysler.
Two cars, one badge
The 2001 to 2005 coupe was built alongside the Eclipse and shares its platform, so a coupe Stratus wheel bearing matches Mitsubishi hardware.
The sedan carried on the Chrysler cloud-car platform. Nothing wheel-related interchanges between the two.

The sedan is refreshingly stable
513138 covers every sedan front from 1995 to 2006, a run that also includes the Cirrus and Breeze twins.
At the rear, ABS decides between 512220 and 512154, with early ABS cars taking 512133.
The related later sedans have pages too: the Avenger page covers one successor and the Chrysler 200 page the other line.
Coupe owners should shop both badges
The coupe’s 512136 rear turns up in Eclipse listings, often cheaper. Same for suspension and brake hardware around the bearing. The badge on the trunk is the least useful search term for these cars.
The make overview is on the Dodge page.
All hubs, no press
Every number above is a bolt-on hub assembly, sedan and coupe alike. The work is unbolting, cleaning the bore, and torquing the new unit properly.
The torque part matters more than people think. It is covered on the torque specs page.
Diagnosing a Stratus wheel bearing
- Confirm sedan or coupe, since it forks every part number.
- Check for ABS on a sedan before ordering the rear.
- Weave at highway speed and follow the drone.
- Rock each wheel at twelve and six.
- Search Eclipse listings for coupe parts before paying Dodge prices.
The method lives on the checking page.
Common questions
Which Stratus wheel bearing fits my sedan front?
513138, any year from 1995 to 2006. It is the constant on this car.
Why does the coupe use different parts?
It is an Eclipse platform built by Mitsubishi. The sedan is a Chrysler design. They share a name and nothing structural.
Which rear does my sedan take?
With ABS, 512220 from 1998 on and 512133 before that. Without ABS, 512154.
Can I use Eclipse parts on a coupe?
The listings overlap heavily, including the 512136 rear. Match by number and year.
Do Cirrus and Breeze share the sedan numbers?
Yes. The cloud-car triplets use the same hubs year for year.
Do I need a press?
No. Both body styles use bolt-on hub assemblies at the corners covered here.
