The short version
- The 1998-2002 Honda Accord runs one front bearing across the whole generation: 510050. Every 2000 Honda Accord wheel bearing search for the front ends at that number.
- The rear splits by engine and brake type, not by year: 512178 on four-cylinder disc, 512176 on four-cylinder drum, 512179 on V6 disc.
- Hardware never changed across 1998 to 2002. What changed was which trim got drum brakes and which got disc.
- Confirming the actual car in the driveway matters more than the model year on this generation.
The 1998-2002 Honda Accord kept the same front bearing for its entire run. A 2000 Honda Accord wheel bearing job starts at the front. That number is 510050, no matter the trim or engine, and the rear is where the choices live.

A 2000 Honda Accord wheel bearing up front is 510050, a press-in ball bearing used across the whole 1998-2002 run.

This page covers the 1998-2002 Honda Accord: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002. Other years live on the main Accord wheel bearing page.
An LX with drum brakes and an EX with disc brakes from the same model year need different rear numbers. The V6 adds a third option.
Check the corner on the actual car before ordering. The trim and brake package, not the calendar, decides this one.
Year by year
1998 through 2002 share the same front bearing, 510050, with no changes across the run. Nothing about the front row moves with the year.
The rear follows the same pattern every year: four-cylinder drum cars take 512176, four-cylinder disc cars take 512178, and V6 cars take 512179. Trim mix shifted year to year, but the three numbers did not.
How this generation connects to the Accord line
This generation replaced the split rear hardware of the 1990-1997 cars, covered on the 1990-1997 Accord page, with a cleaner three-way rear split. The front bearing also became a single number for the first time in Accord history.
The following generation moved to yet another front number, detailed on the 2003-2007 Accord page. Confirming whether a rear job is a press-in bearing or a bolt-on hub assembly is worth checking first, explained on the hub assembly page.
Diagnosing a 1998-2002 Honda Accord wheel bearing
- Jack up the corner and rock the wheel at twelve and six o’clock. Play beyond normal tire flex points to the bearing.
- Spin the wheel by hand and feel for roughness rather than a smooth, quiet turn.
- Drive at highway speed and note if the noise rises with speed, a sign covered on the checking page.
- Rule out the tires first, since cupped tread hums in a way that mimics a bearing, covered on the tire noise page.
- Identify the trim and brakes before ordering the rear, since drum, disc, and V6 all use different numbers.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2000 Honda Accord use?
The front is 510050 on every 2000 Accord. The rear is 512178 on four-cylinder disc, 512176 on four-cylinder drum, or 512179 on V6 disc.
What wheel bearing does a 1999 Honda Accord use?
The same numbers apply as the 2000 Honda Accord wheel bearing chart: front 510050, and a rear chosen by engine and brakes rather than by the model year.
Does the front bearing change between trims?
No. One number, 510050, covers every trim and both engines for this entire generation.
How can you tell if an Accord has rear drum or rear disc brakes?
Look at the rear corner directly. A drum has a round metal can over the brake hardware, while a disc shows a rotor and caliper.
Is the V6 rear bearing different from the four-cylinder rear bearing?
Yes. V6 disc cars use 512179, while four-cylinder disc cars use 512178. The catalogs keep the two as separate rows, so they are not interchangeable.
