The short version
- The Fiat 500 wheel bearing chart is two numbers for the whole 2012 to 2019 US run: 513288 front, 512480 rear.
- Both are bolt-on hub assemblies; no press anywhere.
- Abarth, cabrio and electric 500e all follow the same listings.
- The 500L and 500X are different vehicles and share nothing here.
America’s smallest Fiat keeps its bearing story equally small: one front number, one rear number, every trim, every year sold here. This is the simplest fitment chart on this site.
The whole chart
The front Fiat 500 wheel bearing is the 513288 bolt-on hub; the rear is the 512480, often listed with its axle nut included.
Turbo Abarth or base 1.4, hardtop or cabrio, the numbers hold.

Light car, loud clues
At barely a tonne with minimal sound deadening, a failing 500 bearing announces itself sooner than in almost anything else on the road.
The flip side: cheap tires drone convincingly in this car, so rule them out first.
That separation is on the tire noise page.
City duty, pothole reality
These live in cities by design, and impact damage from potholes is the realistic bearing killer, not mileage. A hum that appeared after a hard winter earned its way in honestly, covered on the pothole page.
An easy job by any standard
Bolt-on hubs, light components, accessible fasteners: this is a genuinely beginner-friendly bearing job at both ends. Torque the axle nut properly and it is done, per the torque specs page. The make overview is on the Fiat page.
Diagnosing a Fiat 500 wheel bearing
- Rule out the tires, the great imitator in a light car.
- Weave at speed and place the hum.
- Rock each wheel at twelve and six.
- Think back to winter; potholes write this car’s bearing history.
- Torque the new hub to spec.
The routine is on the checking page.
