The short version
- This page now covers the 2013 to 2020 Ford Fusion, the full generation. That includes the 2019 Ford Fusion wheel bearing years that used to fall outside the old cutoff. The core numbers are Moog 512498 and 512497, alongside WE61444, listed as parallel entries.
- 2013 through 2017 are documented front and rear by both catalogs. That covers FWD and AWD alike.
- 2018 and 2019 have a documented rear on all wheel drive cars. The front is not documented for those two years.
- 2020 flips that pattern. The front is documented and the rear is not. Match any undocumented position to the old part or the VIN.
The 2013 to 2020 Ford Fusion spans eight model years on this page, stretched from the old 2018 cutoff. Two catalogs cover this car, and both numbers stay on the table wherever they list the same position. A 2019 Ford Fusion wheel bearing search lands mid span, where the rear is documented and the front is not.
What the 2013 to 2020 Ford Fusion wheel bearing job needs
512498 covers the front on FWD and AWD cars from 2013 to 2017. It also doubles as a rear number in two more listings. 512497 is the FWD rear with the ABS cap, split by a January 2014 build date.
WE61444 runs the front and the AWD rear from 2014 to 2016. It narrows to just the rear from 2017 to 2019, then just the front in 2020. The 2019 Ford Fusion wheel bearing listing sits in that middle stretch, rear only.

This page covers the 2013 to 2020 Ford Fusion: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. Other years live on the main Ford Fusion wheel bearing page.
One catalog runs this whole generation on a single number. WE61444 covers the front and the AWD rear from 2014 to 2016. It then becomes the rear from 2017 to 2019, and the front again in 2020.
The other catalog splits the same job across 512498 and 512497. It also cares whether a 2013 or early 2014 car was built before or after 18 January 2014. Those are parallel listings for the same positions, not a simplified version of the three way split.
Match the number the old part carries rather than choosing between them.
Year by year
2013 through 2017 sit where both catalogs overlap. This is where the parallel listings apply. Front, rear FWD, and rear AWD each carry two documented numbers here, and the build date split only touches the FWD rear.
2018 and 2019 keep a documented rear on all wheel drive cars, through WE61444. The 2019 Ford Fusion wheel bearing rear number is that same WE61444. Neither year has a documented front in either catalog.
2020 reverses that pattern. The front is documented on WE61444. The rear is not, so a 2020 Fusion rear has to be matched off the old part or the VIN.
The older Fusion, a separate listing
The 2006 to 2012 Fusion runs its own set of numbers, covered on the 2006 to 2012 Fusion page. Nothing carries forward either way.
Drive type still matters within this 2013 to 2020 span. FWD and AWD cars split at the rear more often than not. The general pattern is covered in the drive type split on hubs.
Diagnosing a Ford Fusion wheel bearing
- Confirm the drive type first. FWD and AWD Fusions split at the rear on both catalogs. Know which one is on the car before ordering anything.
- Check the build date on an early car. The FWD rear ABS cap listing splits at 18 January 2014 on one catalog.
- Run a full bearing check. Work through a proper bearing inspection for play, noise, and heat.
- Watch the ABS sensor wiring on the rear cap. See what the ABS sensor shares with the hub before reusing an old harness.
- Match the old part on undocumented years. That covers the 2018-2019 fronts and the 2020 rear.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2019 Ford Fusion use?
The 2019 Ford Fusion wheel bearing rear listing is WE61444, all wheel drive cars only. The front is not documented for 2019 in either catalog, so match the old part or the VIN there.
What wheel bearing does a 2020 Ford Fusion use?
A 2020 Fusion front uses WE61444. The rear is not documented for 2020, so match the old part or the VIN on that side instead.
Why does the same year show two different part numbers?
Because two catalogs cover this car, and both numbers are correct parallel listings wherever they overlap. Match the number the old part already carries.
Does the build date matter on a 2014 Fusion?
Yes, for the FWD rear with the ABS cap, split at 18 January 2014 on one catalog.
Is the 2006 to 2012 Fusion covered on this page?
No. That car has its own listing elsewhere. Numbers here start with the 2013 model year.
