Home › Vehicles › Ford › Ford Transit › 2014-2017 Ford Transit Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- A 2015 Ford Transit wheel bearing splits by wheel configuration up front. Dual rear wheel vans use 515152. Single rear wheel vans use 515153.
- The rear hub is 512525, and it starts in 2014, a year before the front listings begin.
- A 2014 front position is not documented. Match the old part or run the VIN.
- This page covers the full size Transit, not the compact Transit Connect on its own page.
The full size Transit reached the US market for 2014. Front wheel bearing listings only begin the following year.
A 2015 Ford Transit wheel bearing is where the front numbers start. The rear hub, 512525, already covers the 2014 van.
Transit wheel bearing numbers
Two front numbers split this generation by wheel count. Dual rear wheel vans take 515152. Single rear wheel vans take 515153.
The rear position is simpler. One number, 512525, covers 2014 through 2017 regardless of wheel configuration.

This page covers the 2014-2017 Ford Transit: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017. Other years live on the main Transit wheel bearing page.
The front position splits by wheel configuration, not by trim level. Dual rear wheel vans and single rear wheel vans need different numbers.
A 2014 front listing does not appear in the catalogs. Match the old part or run the VIN rather than guessing between 515152 and 515153.
Numbers for 2018 and later are not documented on this page either.
Year by year
2014 has only the rear listing, 512525. The catalogs do not document a front number for that first year.
2015 through 2017 bring all three rows into play. A 2015 Ford Transit wheel bearing up front depends on wheel configuration, 515152 for dual rear wheels or 515153 for single rear wheels.
The rear hub, 512525, stays constant across 2015, 2016, and 2017. Wheel configuration never touches the rear position.
Transit Connect and the full size Transit
Ford sold this full size Transit alongside the smaller Transit Connect. The two vans do not share hardware despite the shared name.
The Transit Connect’s numbers, from an earlier generation, live on the 2010-2013 Transit Connect page. A 2015 Ford Transit wheel bearing has nothing in common with that compact van’s parts.
Diagnosing a Transit wheel bearing
- Confirm wheel configuration first. A 2015 Ford Transit wheel bearing choice up front depends on whether the van has dual or single rear wheels. Count the tires on each side before ordering.
- Listen for cabin noise. A worn front bearing often produces a low hum that grows with speed. See wheel bearing noise on turns for how the sound shifts in a corner.
- Rule out tire wear. Cupped or uneven tires can mimic a bearing growl. Compare against tire noise or wheel bearing to tell them apart.
- Check the ABS light. A bearing sensor issue can trip the light before the noise becomes obvious.
- Rock the wheel. With the van raised, feel for play at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions. Play there points to the bearing rather than a loose fastener.
Common questions
What is the 2015 Ford Transit wheel bearing part number up front?
It depends on wheel configuration. Dual rear wheel vans use 515152. Single rear wheel vans use 515153.
Does a 2014 Transit use the same front bearing as a 2015 model?
No front listing is documented for 2014. Match the old part or run the VIN rather than assuming it carries over from 2015.
Why does the rear listing start a year before the front?
The catalogs simply document the rear position starting in 2014. Front coverage begins in 2015. That gap is a catalog limit, not a change stated on this page.
Is the full size Transit wheel bearing the same as the Transit Connect?
No. The Transit Connect is a separate, smaller van. It carries its own numbers on a different page.
Does wheel configuration change the rear wheel bearing too?
No. The rear hub, 512525, covers both dual rear wheel and single rear wheel vans from 2014 through 2017.
