The short version
- The 2005 Mustang wheel bearing numbers split by ABS at the front: 513221 with ABS, 513222 without, across the entire 2005-2009 run.
- The rear rides on a live axle, so there is no rear hub number to order on this generation.
- No model year inside 2005-2009 changes the front numbers; ABS is the only question.
- Rear bearing work on this Mustang falls under axle bearing service instead of a hub swap.
Five model years of Mustang, 2005 through 2009, and the front wheel bearing question comes down to one option. The 2005 Mustang wheel bearing chart holds 513221 for cars with ABS and 513222 for cars without it, with no other split anywhere in the run. The rear end never enters the picture, since it rides on a solid, live axle.
The core numbers
These two front hubs cover every 2005-2009 Mustang, split only by whether the car has ABS.
The rear carries no hub number. It runs on a live axle instead.

This page covers the 2005-2009 Ford Mustang: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. Other years live on the main Ford Mustang wheel bearing page.
One check decides the entire front fitment on this Mustang: whether the car has ABS. 513221 covers the ABS cars and 513222 covers the rest, with nothing else splitting either number.
The rear rides on a live axle rather than a hub, so a rear rumble points to axle bearing work, not a wheel bearing order. See axle bearing versus wheel bearing for that distinction.
Year by year
2005 through 2009 make no year-to-year change at the front. The 2005 Mustang wheel bearing chart applies the same way on a 2009 car: 513221 with ABS, 513222 without it.
The rear never gets a hub number across the same span, since the live axle carries its own bearings inside the housing rather than a bolt-on part.
Where this generation sits
The 2010-2014 Mustang drops the ABS split and settles on a single front hub, 513221, for every car. The live axle at the rear carries forward too.
The 2015-2019 Mustang changes that completely, moving to an independent rear with its own documented hub numbers.
Diagnosing a Ford Mustang wheel bearing
- Listen for a hum that builds with speed. A worn front bearing typically gets louder as the car speeds up, not with engine RPM.
- Check whether it changes in a turn. The noise often grows louder leaning one way and quieter the other. See the turning-noise guide.
- Rule out the tires. Cupped or uneven tread wear can mimic a bearing growl at highway speed. Compare against the tire noise page.
- Treat rear noise as an axle question. With a live axle at the rear, rear diagnosis follows a different path than a front hub check.
- Check for play at the front hub. With the wheel off the ground, grip it at 12 and 6 and rock it. Full steps are on the wheel bearing check page.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2005 Mustang use?
A 2005 Mustang wheel bearing job uses front hub 513221 if the car has ABS, or 513222 if it does not. There is no rear hub number since the rear rides on a live axle.
What wheel bearing does a 2008 Mustang use?
The same pair, 513221 with ABS or 513222 without. Nothing about 2008 changes the front chart from the rest of the 2005-2009 run.
Does the 2005-2009 Mustang have a rear wheel bearing part number?
No. The rear axle is a live axle with bearings inside the housing, not a bolt-on hub. That work falls under axle bearing service instead of a wheel bearing order.
Is the front Mustang wheel bearing the same for every trim?
Yes, as long as ABS matches. The catalogs split the front hub only by ABS, with 513221 for ABS cars and 513222 for the rest, regardless of other trim differences.
What decides the wheel bearing number on a 2005-2009 Mustang?
ABS decides it. Every 2005 Mustang wheel bearing order comes down to that single check, since no other change appears anywhere in the five-year span.
