The short version
- A 2005 Hyundai Elantra wheel bearing order runs on one front number for the whole 2001-2006 run, 510078.
- The rear splits by ABS. Cars with ABS use hub 512195, cars without it use 512194.
- 512194 and 512195 are two different hubs, not two listings for the same part.
- No year-to-year change shows up in the catalogs here. The ABS question at the rear is the only real decision.
The 2001-2006 Hyundai Elantra keeps one front bearing number for six straight years. A 2005 Hyundai Elantra wheel bearing order only asks one real question, whether the car has rear ABS.

This page covers the 2001-2006 Hyundai Elantra: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. Other years live on the main Hyundai Elantra wheel bearing page.
512194 and 512195 look like a pair of parallel listings for the same part. They are not. They are two different rear hubs, split by whether the car has ABS.
Match the ABS equipment on the car, or match the number on the old part, before ordering either one.
Year by year
2001 through 2006 share the same front bearing, 510078, with no changes. A 2005 Hyundai Elantra wheel bearing order at the front matches a 2001 or 2006 car exactly.
The rear stays split by ABS across the entire run. That single question, ABS or no ABS, is the only decision this generation asks.
Front versus rear on this generation
The front bearing on this Elantra is a press-in ball design. See press-in wheel bearings for how that differs from a serviceable set.
The rear is a bolt-on hub. Its ABS split ties directly to the sensor built into the hub, see hub assembly and ABS sensor.
The previous generation used a single rear hub with no ABS split at all. See the 1996-2000 Elantra wheel bearing page for that setup.
Diagnosing a 2001-2006 Hyundai Elantra wheel bearing
- Jack up the wheel and check for play. Grip the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock with the wheel off the ground. See how to check a wheel bearing for the method.
- Listen for a hum that shifts in turns. A worn bearing usually grows louder leaning one direction, detailed at wheel bearing noise in turns.
- Rule out the tires before condemning the bearing. Uneven tread can mimic bearing noise at highway speed, especially on a car this age.
- Confirm ABS equipment before ordering a rear hub. Check for a warning light history too, see bad bearing and the ABS light.
- Match the old part’s number if the ABS status is unclear. 512194 and 512195 look similar but are not interchangeable.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2005 Hyundai Elantra use?
A 2005 Hyundai Elantra wheel bearing order needs front number 510078. The rear hub depends on ABS, 512195 with it or 512194 without.
What wheel bearing does a 2001 Hyundai Elantra use?
A 2001 Elantra uses the same setup as a 2005 car: front 510078, rear split by ABS. Nothing changed across this generation.
Are 512194 and 512195 interchangeable Hyundai Elantra rear hubs?
No. They are two different hubs for two different ABS configurations, not two listings for one part. Match the equipment on the car or the old part’s number.
Does the front wheel bearing on this Elantra ever change with ABS?
No. The front number, 510078, stays fixed across the whole 2001-2006 run regardless of ABS. Only the rear splits.
Is the 2001-2006 Hyundai Elantra front bearing a press-in design?
Yes. It is a press-in ball bearing, not a serviceable tapered set. Installing it correctly needs a press.
