Home › Vehicles › Ford › Ford Mustang › 1994-2004 Ford Mustang Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- The 2000 Mustang wheel bearing up front is 513115, the same number for all eleven years covered here, 1994 through 2004.
- The rear splits by suspension, not year: solid axle cars are an axle bearing job, and Cobra IRS cars use a tapered set.
- Solid axle rear bearings run seal 8660S, cylindrical bearing 5707, ordered as kit TRP1563TAV.
- 1999 through 2004 Cobra cars with independent rear suspension use tapered set SET49 instead.
Ford Mustang coupes and convertibles from 1994 through 2004 share one front wheel bearing number the whole run. The rear depends entirely on suspension type. A base V6 or GT and a Cobra do not share a rear bearing.
The core numbers for this generation
The 2000 Mustang wheel bearing up front is 513115, whether the car has ABS or not. That number holds for every year in this generation.
The rear number depends on the axle. Solid axle cars fall into axle bearing territory with kit TRP1563TAV, and Cobra IRS cars use tapered set SET49.

This page covers the 1994-2004 Ford Mustang: 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004. Other years live on the main Ford Mustang wheel bearing page.
The rear bearing question here is decided by suspension, not model year. A solid axle Mustang and a Cobra built the same year need completely different rear parts.
Check for independent rear suspension before ordering, since the Cobra takes a tapered set instead of an axle bearing kit.
Year by year
The 2000 Mustang wheel bearing pattern holds for every year from 1994 through 2004: front hub 513115, regardless of trim or ABS. Solid axle cars use the same rear axle bearing kit, TRP1563TAV, across that entire span too. Only the 1999 through 2004 Cobra changes the picture, running independent rear suspension and a tapered set, SET49, instead.
Where this generation sits in the Mustang line
The 2005-2009 Mustang moves to its own new hub listings on a redesigned platform. None of the numbers on this page carry forward, so the 2000 Mustang wheel bearing part 513115 does not apply to that later generation.
Suspension type, not drivetrain, is what separates the rear bearing question here, unlike many 4×4 or front drive platforms where drivetrain decides everything.
Diagnosing a Ford Mustang wheel bearing
- Confirm the rear suspension type. A solid axle car and a Cobra with independent rear suspension need different rear parts entirely.
- Listen on a curve. A worn front hub gets louder turning one way and quieter the other; see wheel bearing noise in a turn.
- Rock the wheel at 12 and 6. Play in the front hub or the rear bearing shows up the same way on either end.
- Check the ABS light. A failing front hub can trip a fault before it gets loud on ABS equipped cars.
- Order by axle, not by trim. A GT and a Cobra built the same year can need entirely different rear bearing numbers.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2000 Mustang use?
The 2000 Mustang wheel bearing up front is 513115. The rear depends on suspension: TRP1563TAV for a solid axle car, or SET49 for a Cobra with independent rear suspension.
What wheel bearing does a 1994 Mustang use?
The same front number as every other year here, 513115. The Cobra IRS option and its SET49 tapered set do not start until 1999.
Does the Mustang front wheel bearing change with ABS?
No. 513115 covers ABS and non ABS cars alike across the whole 1994 to 2004 run.
Is the Mustang rear bearing the same on every trim?
No. Solid axle cars use axle bearing kit TRP1563TAV, while Cobra cars with independent rear suspension use tapered set SET49 instead.
Can a Cobra rear bearing be used on a base Mustang?
No. A base Mustang has a solid axle and needs axle bearing kit TRP1563TAV, not the SET49 tapered set built for independent rear suspension.
