The short version
- Probe wheel bearing numbers split hard between two generations, not just by brakes.
- 1993-1997 front uses press-in ball bearing 510010 across every trim.
- 1993-1997 rear splits by ABS: 512118 with ABS, 512119 without.
- 1989-1992 front uses bearing assembly 513057, and the rear runs through its own listings, matched by VIN.
Mazda and Ford built the Probe side by side with the MX-6, and the wheel bearing chart still shows that partnership. Two distinct generations mean two distinct sets of numbers, not a straight carryover.
Two generations, two charts
The 1993-1997 Probe uses a press-in ball bearing up front, number 510010, the same part across every trim.
Rear numbers split by brakes: 512118 with ABS, 512119 without ABS.

The number 510010 is a heavily reused casting. It also appears on later Ford Fusion listings and even on Jaguar XK8 charts.
Match the application line for the Probe, not the number’s reputation elsewhere. A shared number does not guarantee a shared fit.
Built alongside the Mazda MX-6
Ford and Mazda built the Probe and the MX-6 on the same line. The wheel bearing chart follows the same split, by generation and by brakes.
Mazda’s own vehicle coverage sits at the Mazda hub.
First generation needs its own care
The 1989-1992 Probe does not share numbers with the later car. Front uses bearing assembly 513057, and rear parts run through their own listings, matched to the old part.
Ford’s wider catalog sits at the Ford vehicles hub, and the Fusion sedan that later reused 510010 sits at Ford Fusion wheel bearing coverage.
Diagnosing a Ford Probe wheel bearing
- Listen for a hum that builds with speed. A worn Probe wheel bearing growls or hums, and the volume increases with road speed.
- Check which side is louder in turns. Noise that peaks turning one way often points to that corner; see this cornering noise guide.
- Confirm it is not the tires. Worn or cupped tires can sound similar, and tire noise gets mistaken for bearing noise often.
- Check ABS wiring on the rear. The 1993-1997 rear hub carries the ABS sensor, and a damaged wire can trigger false codes; see how the hub and ABS sensor connect.
- Jack up each corner and check play. Grip the tire and rock it at 12 and 6 o’clock, a method covered in the wheel bearing check guide.
Common questions
Does the Ford Probe share its wheel bearing with the Mazda MX-6?
Yes. The two cars were built together and follow the same wheel bearing chart, split by generation and by ABS.
Is 510010 the same bearing on a Ford Fusion?
The number appears on Fusion listings too, but that does not mean the parts are interchangeable. Always match the specific application line, not just the number.
What is the front Probe wheel bearing part number?
For 1993-1997, the front number is 510010, a press-in ball bearing. For 1989-1992, the front uses bearing assembly 513057 instead.
Does ABS change the rear Probe wheel bearing number?
Yes, for 1993-1997. Cars with ABS use 512118, and cars without it use 512119.
Where can the 1989-1992 rear Probe wheel bearing be found?
That generation’s rear parts run through their own listings. Match the old part or confirm by VIN before ordering.
