Home › Vehicles › Honda › Honda Element › 2003-2011 Honda Element Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- A 2003 Honda Element wheel bearing order needs a trim check up front and a side check at the rear, across an 11 year run from 2003 to 2011.
- EX and LX trims use press in front bearing 510074 from 2003 through 2009.
- The SC trim adds its own press in front number, 510098, starting in 2007.
- The rear is handed and modular. Only the right side, 512263, carries a documented number.
Honda built the Element from 2003 through 2011, longer than the front wheel bearing catalogs actually cover. That gap matters for later cars.

This page covers the 2003-2011 Honda Element: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011. Other years live on the main Element wheel bearing page.
The rear modules are handed, and only the right side carries a documented number, 512263. Match your side for the left rather than assuming the same listing.
Front listings stop at 2009 while the Element itself sold through 2011. A 2010 or 2011 front is not documented: match the old part or run the VIN.
The SC trim takes its own front press in number, 510098, starting in 2007, separate from the EX and LX listing.
Year by year
2003 through 2006 use one front number, 510074, for EX and LX trims.
2007 through 2009 add the SC trim row, 510098, alongside the continuing 510074 listing.
2010 and 2011 have no documented front row. The rear right module, 512263, runs unchanged across every year from 2003 to 2011. A 2003 Honda Element wheel bearing order sits at the well documented start of that whole span.
A wagon body with its own module design
The Element used a modular rear hub design rather than a simple hub bearing, which is why the rear splits by side instead of by year.
That module design stayed the same for the Element’s whole run, even as the front listings stopped short.
A 2003 Honda Element wheel bearing order for the rear should always specify left or right before ordering.
Diagnosing a Honda Element wheel bearing
- Check the trim badge. EX, LX, and SC front bearings are not the same part on Elements built from 2007 on.
- Confirm the model year against front coverage. 2003 through 2009 have documented front rows, but 2010 and 2011 do not.
- Name the rear side. The rear module is handed, so always specify left or right when ordering, even though only the right has a listed number.
- Listen for a rotating hum. A worn bearing hums or growls and grows louder with speed. See wheel bearing noise on turns for the pattern.
- Check for wheel play. Raise the wheel, grab it at 12 and 6 o’clock, and rock it. See how to check a wheel bearing for the full routine.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2003 Honda Element use?
A 2003 Honda Element wheel bearing order needs 510074 up front on EX and LX trims, plus 512263 at the rear right and a matched listing for the left.
What wheel bearing does a 2010 Honda Element use?
A 2010 Honda Element has no documented front wheel bearing row. Match the old part or run the VIN, while the rear right stays on 512263.
Does the SC trim use a different front wheel bearing?
Yes. The SC trim uses its own press in front number, 510098, starting in 2007, separate from the EX and LX listing of 510074.
Why is only the right rear wheel bearing documented?
The catalogs list a number for the right rear module, 512263, but not for the left. Match your side using the old left side part.
Why do front wheel bearing listings stop before the Element stopped selling?
The catalogs simply do not carry a front listing past 2009, even though Honda built the Element through 2011.
