This page covers the 2007-2014 GMC Yukon: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. Other years live on the main GMC Yukon wheel bearing page.
Some owners expect a Denali specific number, but the AWD Denali simply takes the same hub as 4WD trucks, 515096.
Drivetrain, not trim, decides the front hub across all eight years.
Year by year
2007 through 2014 share one clean pair of numbers. Nothing changes across these eight years.
4WD and AWD trucks, including the Denali, use front hub 515096.
2WD trucks use front hub 515097, and the 2008 Yukon Denali wheel bearing falls into the AWD group.
Where this generation sits in the Yukon line
This 2007-2014 Yukon follows the 2000-2006 Yukon, where 2000 alone split by trim rather than drivetrain.
Here, drivetrain decides everything, and drive type and wheel bearings explains why AWD and 4WD often share one number.
The following 2015-2018 Yukon replaces both numbers and stops documenting 2WD trucks after 2016.
Diagnosing a GMC Yukon wheel bearing
- Listen for the noise. A worn front hub hums or growls, louder with speed.
- Check where it changes. Noise that grows on a turn points at the loaded side hub.
- Jack up the front end. Rock the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock and feel for play.
- Spin the wheel by hand. Roughness or grinding confirms bearing damage, not a balance issue.
- Confirm drivetrain before ordering. AWD and 4WD share one number; 2WD uses the other.
