The short version
- The S2000 wheel bearing is one number for the entire car, front and rear alike.
- Number 510050, a press-in ball bearing, covers all four corners for every year, 2000-2009.
- The S2000 sits on a short list of vehicles using a single wheel bearing everywhere.
- Hard cornering wears these bearings faster than commuting, so track-driven cars need extra inspection.
Honda built the S2000 around a 9000 rpm engine and a chassis tuned for backroads, not comfort. The wheel bearing chart matches that simplicity: one number, every corner, every year.
One number, four corners
The S2000 wheel bearing is a press-in ball bearing, number 510050, used at the front and the rear.
Every model year from 2000 through 2009 uses the identical part, all four corners included.

Every model year this chart resolves: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

The S2000’s single part number is unusual even within Honda’s own lineup. The Civic and Accord both use different numbers front and rear.
Do not carry 510050 over to another Honda model just because the S2000 makes it look universal.
A short list of one-bearing cars
The S2000 joins a short list of vehicles that use one wheel bearing at every corner. The Volkswagen Touareg does the same thing, though with its own separate part number.
Honda’s wider lineup sits at the Honda vehicles hub, and the Civic wheel bearing coverage shows how different a typical Honda chart looks.
Hard cornering wears bearings faster
The S2000 rewards hard cornering, and hard cornering loads a wheel bearing harder than daily commuting. Track-driven cars deserve a bearing check after every season, not just when a noise shows up.
The Volkswagen Touareg and its Tiguan sibling take the one-bearing idea even further, described at Touareg wheel bearing coverage.
Diagnosing a Honda S2000 wheel bearing
- Listen for a hum after track days. A worn S2000 wheel bearing growls or hums, and hard driving speeds up that wear.
- Note which corner sounds loudest. Noise that changes with cornering direction often points to one corner; see this cornering noise guide.
- Rule out the tires first. Track tires wear unevenly and can mimic bearing noise, and tire noise is often mistaken for a bearing.
- Check play at all four corners. Jack up each wheel and rock it at 12 and 6 o’clock, a method covered in the wheel bearing check guide.
- Remember this is a press job. Replacing 510050 at any corner means pressing it into the hub or knuckle, a process explained at the press-in wheel bearing guide.
Common questions
Does the S2000 use the same wheel bearing at every corner?
Yes. Number 510050 covers the front and the rear for every model year, 2000 through 2009.
Is the S2000 wheel bearing a press-in or bolt-on design?
Press-in. All four corners use a press-in ball bearing, not a bolt-on hub.
Do track days wear out an S2000 wheel bearing faster?
Yes. Hard cornering loads the bearings harder than commuting, so track-driven cars need more frequent checks.
Does another Honda use the same 510050 wheel bearing?
Not according to this chart. The S2000’s single number is unusual even within Honda’s own lineup.
What other vehicles use one wheel bearing at every corner?
The Volkswagen Touareg and Tiguan follow the same idea, though with their own separate part numbers.
