The short version
- The 1997-2001 Honda CR-V wheel bearing setup is one front number for every trim and drivetrain. The rear splits by side: 510039 front, 512166 left rear, 512240 right rear.
- A 1999 Honda CRV wheel bearing order needs the side confirmed before the rear number is picked.
- The right rear also carries a Timken parallel listing, HA592210, alongside 512240.
- No documented changes appear across the full 1997-2001 run for either end.
Honda gave the first CR-V one front bearing for the whole generation, then split the rear by side rather than by trim. A 1999 Honda CRV wheel bearing job at the back means picking left or right before anything else.
1999 Honda CRV wheel bearing numbers
The front press-in ball is a single number across the 1997-2001 run, no trim or drivetrain split.
The rear is handed. Left and right carry different numbers, and the right side has a second, parallel listing on top of that.

This page covers the 1997-2001 Honda CR-V: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001. Other years live on the main Honda CR-V wheel bearing page.
512166 is the left rear and 512240 is the right rear on every 1997-2001 CR-V. One catalog also lists the right side under a Timken parallel number, HA592210.
512240 and HA592210 are parallel listings for the same right rear corner, not two different parts. Match the number the old part carries.
Year by year
1997 through 2001 run on the same three numbers. Front 510039 covers every trim and drivetrain, and the rear splits only by side, not by year.
Nothing in the catalogs marks a mid-generation change at either end. A 1999 Honda CRV wheel bearing order looks identical to one for 1997 or 2001.
How the first CR-V shares its rear hardware
The 1997-2001 CR-V was Honda’s first generation of the model. Its press-in front bearing design stayed simple through the run. The handed rear hubs are the part of this generation most likely to trip up an order.
The next generation moved to a trim-based split rather than a side-based one, covered on the 2002-2006 CR-V page. A knock that seems to come from the rear corner is worth ruling out against the axle first, discussed on the axle bearing page.
Anyone searching a 1999 Honda CRV wheel bearing number for the first time should expect this side split, not a trim split, since it carries through the whole generation.
Diagnosing a 1997-2001 Honda CR-V wheel bearing
- Jack up the affected corner and rock the wheel at twelve and six o’clock, checking for play beyond normal tire flex.
- Spin the wheel by hand and listen for a grinding or rough feel rather than a smooth roll.
- Note which side is noisy before ordering, since the rear numbers are not interchangeable side to side.
- Drive at highway speed and listen for a hum that builds, covered on the noise page.
- Compare the sound to tire noise first, detailed on the tire noise page, before committing to a bearing order.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 1999 Honda CRV use?
The front is 510039 on every trim. The rear depends on side: 512166 left, 512240 right.
What wheel bearing does a 2001 Honda CR-V use?
The same three numbers as the rest of the generation: 510039 front, 512166 left rear, 512240 right rear.
Why does the right rear have two part numbers?
512240 and HA592210 are parallel listings from different catalogs for the same right rear corner. Match the number already on the old part.
Does the front bearing change between trims?
No. 510039 covers the front on every 1997-2001 CR-V regardless of trim or drivetrain.
Is the rear bearing the same on the left and right?
No. The rear is handed, with 512166 on the left and 512240 on the right, so the side has to be confirmed before ordering.
