Home › Vehicles › Ford › Focus › 2008-2011 Ford Focus Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- The 2008 Ford Focus wheel bearing numbers are 510056 front and 516007 rear, documented for 2008-2009 and carried by reference through 2011.
- ABS cars need sensor seal 100944 with the rear bearing 516007, same as the generation before it.
- The catalogs stop documenting this generation at 2009. 2010-2011 orders match against the old part or the VIN, using 510056 and 516007 as the reference.
- The 2008 restyle changed the body panels, not the bearings. The carryover numbers still apply.
The 2008-2011 Ford Focus got new sheet metal for 2008, but the bearings underneath stayed the same as before. That carryover is most of the story here, at least until the catalogs stop tracking it after 2009.
Anyone searching the 2008 Ford Focus wheel bearing question is really asking about a carryover part, not a new design.

This page covers the 2008-2011 Ford Focus: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011. Other years live on the main Ford Focus wheel bearing page.
The 2008 refresh changed the body panels, not the bearings. The carryover numbers, 510056 front and 516007 rear, still apply.
The catalogs stop documenting this generation at 2009. A 2010 or 2011 order gets confirmed against the old part or the VIN.
Year by year
2008 and 2009 are documented directly: front 510056, rear 516007, plus sensor seal 100944 on ABS cars.
2010 and 2011 carry the same body and the same bearings, but the catalogs stop tracking them by year. Those 2008 Ford Focus wheel bearing numbers stay the reference point for matching.
How this generation fits with the rest of the Focus line
The 2008 restyle kept the platform from the 2000-2007 Focus, covered on the 2000-2007 page, and the bearing numbers carried straight over. The global Focus that replaced this body for 2012 changed again, covered on the 2012-2018 page.
Front and rear are both press-in bearings on this generation too. Budget for a press rather than a bolt-on swap.
Diagnosing a Ford Focus wheel bearing
- Listen for a hum that grows with speed. A worn bearing usually gets louder the faster the car goes, front or rear.
- Turn the wheel and note which side gets louder. A bearing that roars more in one direction points to that side, the pattern covered in this guide.
- Check the ABS sensor if the light is on. A worn rear bearing on an ABS car can trip a fault through the sensor built into the hub.
- Rock the wheel with it off the ground. Play at 12 and 6 o’clock points to the bearing, following the standard check.
- Match the old part on a 2010 or 2011 car. The catalogs stop naming these years directly, so confirm against the number already on the car.

Why do the catalogs stop at 2009 for this Focus generation?

Only on ABS cars. The rear bearing number, 516007, is the same either way, but ABS cars also need sensor seal 100944 installed with it.
