The short version
- A 2004 Honda CRV wheel bearing order splits by trim through 2004: EX takes 510074 front and 511029 rear, LX takes 510039 front and 510015 rear.
- From 2005 the LX-only rows disappear and every 2002-2006 CR-V trim uses the EX hardware, 510074 front and 511029 rear.
- 2002-2004 is the trim-split window; 2005-2006 is the settled window.
- No side split exists on this generation, unlike the CR-V that came before it.
Trim decides the bearing on the early half of this generation. A 2004 Honda CRV wheel bearing order has to answer EX or LX before either number means anything.
2004 Honda CRV wheel bearing numbers
Through 2004 the trim sets both ends of the car. EX and LX do not share a single number front or rear.
From 2005 the LX rows stop appearing, and every trim moves onto the EX numbers, 510074 front and 511029 rear.

This page covers the 2002-2006 Honda CR-V: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. Other years live on the main Honda CR-V wheel bearing page.
EX and LX are not just badges here. Each trim carries its own front and rear number from 2002 through 2004.
Confirm the trim before ordering. From 2005 the question disappears since every trim lands on the EX numbers.
Year by year
2002 through 2004 split by trim at both ends. EX cars run 510074 front and 511029 rear, LX cars run 510039 front and 510015 rear.
2005 drops the LX-specific rows. A 2004 Honda CRV wheel bearing order needs the trim confirmed, but a 2005 order does not.
2006 continues on the same single set as 2005, 510074 front and 511029 rear, for every trim.
How the trim split fits the CR-V line
This generation followed the handed rear hubs of the 1997-2001 CR-V, covered on the 1997-2001 CR-V page, and replaced that side split with a trim split instead. The change to a single set from 2005 lined up with LX getting the same ABS setup as EX.
The rear bearing on this generation also carries the ABS sensor on EX-equipped cars, a detail covered on the hub assembly page. A bad wheel bearing can also set off the ABS light, discussed on the ABS light page.
Diagnosing a 2002-2006 Honda CR-V wheel bearing
- Confirm the trim first, EX or LX, on any 2002-2004 car before ordering either bearing.
- Jack up the corner and rock the wheel at twelve and six o’clock, checking for play.
- Spin the wheel by hand and listen for grinding rather than a smooth roll.
- Drive at speed and listen for a hum that builds, covered on the noise page.
- Rule out the tires before committing to a bearing order, detailed on the tire noise page.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2004 Honda CRV use?
It depends on trim. EX runs 510074 front and 511029 rear, LX runs 510039 front and 510015 rear.
What wheel bearing does a 2006 Honda CR-V use?
Every 2006 trim uses 510074 front and 511029 rear, the same as the 2005 model year.
Why did the LX rows stop appearing after 2004?
From 2005 every trim moved onto the same ABS-equipped hardware the EX had used, so one set of numbers covers all trims.
How do I tell an EX from an LX for parts purposes?
Check the trim badge or the door sticker on a 2002-2004 CR-V. Any 2004 Honda CRV wheel bearing order should start with that check, since the front and rear numbers differ by trim in those years.
Does the rear bearing carry the ABS sensor?
On EX cars through 2004 and on every trim from 2005, yes. The LX rear through 2004 was a press-in bearing without that sensor.
