The short version
- The 2011 Hyundai Sonata wheel bearing rear hub is 512437, valid across all four years, 2011 through 2014.
- The front is not documented in the catalogs we hold for this generation.
- Match the number the old front part carries, or run the VIN, rather than guessing.
- Moog actually dates the rear listing from 2010, one year before this body starts.
Four model years, 2011 through 2014, share one rear hub and a gap up front. The 2011 Hyundai Sonata wheel bearing rear number is settled: 512437 covers the whole run. The front is a different story, and the catalogs we hold simply do not list it.
One rear number, no front listing
Moog lists 512437 for the Sonata rear hub. The listing actually starts in 2010, one year before this body appears.
The front hub has no documented number for 2011-2014. Match the number the old part carries, or run the VIN.

This page covers the 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. Other years live on the main Sonata wheel bearing page.
The catalogs put the rear changeover at 2010, one year before the body itself changes at 2011. On a 2010 car, check the old part instead of assuming either page’s number.
Front listings are absent for this generation entirely. Never guess a number here; match the old part or run the VIN.
Year by year
One rear number, 512437, covers all four years, 2011 through 2014, with no changes. The front stays a gap the whole run on the 2011 Hyundai Sonata wheel bearing chart, and the catalogs we hold never fill it in for this body.
A 2010 car sits right on the seam. The rear listing starts that year, but the body itself belongs to the earlier generation, so match the old part rather than trusting either page blindly.
The Sonata generations before and after
This body follows the 2006-2010 Sonata wheel bearing page, where the 2010 car actually lives despite the rear listing starting that year. The next redesign begins the 2015-2018 Sonata wheel bearing page, with its own front and rear numbers.
Neither neighboring generation shares part numbers with this one. The front gap here is specific to 2011-2014 and does not carry over from either side.
Diagnosing a Sonata wheel bearing
- Listen for the pattern. A worn wheel bearing hums or growls, and the pitch tracks with road speed, not engine RPM. See wheel bearing noise on turns for what changes in a corner.
- Rule out the tires first. Cupped or unevenly worn tires can mimic a bearing hum. Compare against tire noise versus wheel bearing noise before pulling anything apart.
- Check for play. With the wheel off the ground, grab it at 12 and 6 o’clock and rock it. Looseness at the hub points to the bearing, covered in how to check a wheel bearing.
- Watch the ABS light. A failing hub can drag down the ABS sensor signal at either end. A bad bearing and the ABS light covers the connection.
- Pull the old front hub before ordering. Since the front is not in the catalogs we hold, read the casting number off the old part or run the VIN through a parts counter.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2011 Hyundai Sonata use?
A 2011 Hyundai Sonata wheel bearing rear hub is 512437. The front is not documented in the catalogs we hold; match the number the old part carries or run the VIN.
What wheel bearing does a 2013 Hyundai Sonata use?
The same rear hub, 512437, applies to a 2013 Sonata. The front gap is the same as every year in this generation.
Why is there no front wheel bearing number for this Sonata?
The catalogs we hold simply stop short of listing a front number for this 2011 Hyundai Sonata wheel bearing generation. That gap does not mean the part cannot be found, only that it has to be matched by hand.
Does the 2010 Sonata use the same rear hub as the 2011?
The Moog listing for 512437 starts in 2010, but that car belongs to the earlier body on the 2006-2010 page. Check the old part on a 2010 rather than assuming either listing.
How do I find my Sonata’s front wheel bearing without a catalog number?
Pull the old hub and read the number stamped on it, or take the VIN to a parts counter that can run it. Both beat guessing between unrelated listings.
