The short version
- Every 2002-2008 Hyundai Tiburon front wheel bearing is a press in ball bearing. A 2003 Hyundai Tiburon wheel bearing search comes down to which engine is under the hood.
- The 2.0 liter four cylinder uses 510078. The 2.7 liter V6 uses 510076. Both are at the front.
- The rear is not documented as a single listing across this generation. Run the VIN.
- Engine choice, not model year, decides the front bearing for all seven years, 2002 through 2008.
Hyundai built the Tiburon from 2002 through 2008 with a choice of two engines. That choice decides the front wheel bearing.
A 2003 Hyundai Tiburon wheel bearing at the front is 510078 with the 2.0 liter four cylinder or 510076 with the 2.7 liter V6. Both press in rather than bolt on as a hub.
The core numbers
The 2.0 liter four cylinder front press in bearing is 510078. The 2.7 V6 front press in bearing is 510076.
The rear runs through the vehicle’s own listings, matched by VIN, across the whole 2002-2008 span.

This page covers the 2002-2008 Hyundai Tiburon: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008. Other years live on the main Hyundai Tiburon wheel bearing page.
A 2003 Hyundai Tiburon wheel bearing shopper needs the engine size before anything else. The front splits by 2.0 liter versus 2.7 V6, not by trim or body style.
Both front bearings press in rather than arriving as a bolt on hub. The installation calls for a press and the correct adapters.
The rear never resolved to one clean listing across this generation. Pull the VIN and run it through the catalogs rather than guessing.
Year by year
All seven model years, 2002 through 2008, use the same rule at the front. The 2.0 liter takes 510078 and the 2.7 V6 takes 510076, with nothing shifting by year. The rear stays VIN territory for the entire span as well.
Why engine size matters more than trim on this car
Hyundai offered the Tiburon in four cylinder and V6 forms throughout this run. The front suspension hardware differs enough between them that the wheel bearing does not cross over. A 2003 Hyundai Tiburon wheel bearing buyer who only checks the trim badge risks ordering the wrong engine’s part.
Confirming the engine is a faster check than pulling the old bearing, see how to check a wheel bearing.
Diagnosing a Hyundai Tiburon wheel bearing
- Identify the engine. Confirm 2.0 liter four cylinder or 2.7 liter V6 before pulling any catalog number.
- Listen for front noise. A worn front bearing on this car typically hums and gets louder with speed, see wheel bearing noise when turning.
- Rule out the tires. Uneven tire wear can mimic a bearing noise, so check tread before condemning the hub.
- Check for play at the front hub. Jack up the corner and rock the wheel top to bottom to feel for looseness.
- Run the VIN for the rear. That position needs the VIN matched against the catalogs, not a single universal number.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon use?
A 2003 Hyundai Tiburon wheel bearing at the front is 510078 with the 2.0 liter engine or 510076 with the 2.7 V6. Both are press in bearings.
What wheel bearing does a 2006 Hyundai Tiburon use?
A 2006 Hyundai Tiburon follows the same engine based split as every other year in this generation. Engine size decides the front, not the model year.
Is the Hyundai Tiburon front wheel bearing press in or bolt on?
Press in. Both the 2.0 liter and 2.7 V6 front bearings, 510078 and 510076, install as press in units, not bolt on hub assemblies.
Why is there no single rear wheel bearing listing for the Tiburon?
The catalogs never settled on one universal rear number for this generation. The rear runs through the vehicle’s own listings, matched by VIN.
Does the V6 Tiburon use a different wheel bearing than the four cylinder?
Yes. The 2.7 V6 uses 510076 at the front while the 2.0 liter four cylinder uses 510078. Neither substitutes for the other.
