The short version
- The 2017 F250 wheel bearing split is about drive type. Four wheel drive trucks bolt on WE61854 for 2017 to 2020. Rear wheel drive trucks keep serviceable taper bearings instead.
- Rear wheel drive front bearings run NBNP903590 from 2017 to 2020. NBNP123221 covers the inner bearing from 2018 on.
- The rear axle is solid on every truck in this range. The rear job is a bearing and seal, not a hub assembly.
- 2017 is the overlap year. It pulls in listings from both the older taper bearing entries and the new WE61854 hub.
Between 2017 and 2020, the F-250 splits into two different wheel bearing jobs by drive type. Four wheel drive trucks bolt on a hub assembly. Rear wheel drive trucks keep serviceable taper bearings that need packing and adjustment by hand.
What the 2017 F250 wheel bearing job needs
Four wheel drive trucks from 2017 to 2020 use one bolt on hub. That number is WE61854, with no year splits inside the span.
Rear wheel drive trucks use NBNP903590 across the same years. NBNP123221 covers the inner bearing starting in 2018.

Lookups run through the cross reference page.
This page covers the 2017 to 2020 Ford F-250: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. Other years live on the main F-250 wheel bearing page.
Two different front repairs live on the same truck. Four wheel drive gets a bolt on hub, WE61854. Rear wheel drive keeps taper bearings instead, which is a repack job, not a hub swap.
The race numbers do not match cleanly. The 2012 to 2017 inner race is NBNP787333, and the catalogs list NBNP640324 as a 2017 front race. Match the old part rather than assume one supersedes the other.
Year by year
2017 is the overlap year for this 2017 F250 wheel bearing generation. It closes out the 2012 to 2017 inner bearing and race entries, plus the NBA56 set. It also opens the new WE61854 hub, the NBNP903590 bearing, and its own single year race number, NBNP640324.
2018 and 2019 continue the same pattern as 2017. Four wheel drive stays on WE61854. Rear wheel drive runs NBNP903590 up front with the NBNP123221 inner bearing.
2020 keeps WE61854 on four wheel drive and NBNP903590 with NBNP123221 on rear wheel drive. The rear outer bearing NBLM104949 stopped being listed after 2019, so 2020 rear has no documented number.
Sharing the front end with the F-350
The rear wheel drive front hardware here is shared with the F-350 across the same years. That includes NBNP903590, the NBA56 set through 2017, and the NS710584 seal. Four wheel drive splits the trucks apart with separate hub listings.
The 2011 to 2016 F-250 ran different numbers, covered on the 2011 to 2016 F-250 page.
Diagnosing a 2017 F250 wheel bearing
- Confirm the drive type first. Four wheel drive and rear wheel drive need different repairs. This decides everything else.
- Listen for the noise pattern. A worn bearing hums or grinds and changes pitch with speed. A bad CV joint instead clicks mostly in turns.
- Check for play at the wheel. Grab the tire at twelve and six and rock it. Looseness at the hub points at the bearing.
- On rear wheel drive, plan on repacking the taper bearings. That means pulling the hub, cleaning the races, and packing fresh grease.
- Set preload and end play correctly. A taper bearing set adjusted too tight burns up fast. One left loose knocks under braking.

Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2017 F-250 use?
A 2017 four wheel drive truck uses WE61854 as the front hub. A 2017 rear wheel drive truck uses NBNP903590 up front. That year also closes out the 2012 to 2017 inner bearing and race entries.
What wheel bearing does a 2020 F-250 use?
A 2020 four wheel drive truck still uses WE61854. A 2020 rear wheel drive truck uses NBNP903590 up front with NBNP123221 as the inner bearing. The rear position is not documented for that year.
Is the F-250 rear a hub assembly?
No, not on any truck in this range. The rear axle is solid, so a rear repair is axle bearing territory, not a hub swap. NBLM104949 covers only the outer bearing through 2019.
Why do two different front race numbers show up for 2017?
The catalogs list NBNP787333 as the 2012 to 2017 inner race and NBNP640324 as a 2017 front race. They are separate entries, not a supersession. Match the old part rather than pick between them, which is the core of this 2017 F250 wheel bearing job.
Does the F-350 use the same front hardware?
On rear wheel drive, the front hardware is shared with the F-350. That includes NBNP903590, the NBA56 set, and the NS710584 seal across these years. Four wheel drive hubs are listed separately for each truck.
