The short version
- Front XJ8 wheel bearing is press-in ball part 510010, covering 1999 through 2003.
- Vanden Plas rows carry that same 510010 number across a longer 1996 to 2009 span.
- The 2004 aluminum body change brought a bolt-on hub, HA590224, the same number used by the S-Type, running 2004 through 2008.
- Rear XJ8 wheel bearing has no dedicated catalog listing, match the old part or VIN.
Jaguar switched this platform to an aluminum body partway through its run, and the XJ8 wheel bearing catalog splits right along that seam. Cars built through 2003 press the bearing into the knuckle. Cars built from 2004 bolt a hub on instead.
Two front designs, one seam
The XJ8 wheel bearing front listing depends entirely on which side of the 2004 body change the car falls on.
XJR models follow the same front numbers for their respective years.

The Vanden Plas trim complicates the picture. Its rows list part 510010 across a 1996 to 2009 span, which overlaps the 2004 to 2008 window where the standard XJ8 wheel bearing catalog shows the bolt-on HA590224 instead. Where the two readings conflict, match the old part or VIN rather than guessing by year alone.
Shared with the S-Type
The 2004 to 2008 bolt-on hub, HA590224, is not unique to the XJ8. The S-Type uses the identical part, since both cars came out of the same era of Jaguar engineering.
Rear XJ8 wheel bearing coverage is different. No dedicated rear listing is held for this car, so match the old part or VIN rather than order by year.
XJR and the wider Jaguar lineup
XJR models follow the standard XJ8 wheel bearing numbers for their build year, since the two share the same platform. The broader Jaguar catalog from this era includes the XK8, a coupe built alongside the XJ8 on related hardware.
Checking a suspected bearing before ordering saves a wasted part. A basic bearing check and a look for noise that changes in turns both help confirm the diagnosis.
Diagnosing an XJ8 wheel bearing
- Listen for speed-related drone. A failing XJ8 wheel bearing usually gets louder as road speed climbs, then quiets under braking.
- Check the wheel for play. Jack the corner up and rock the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock, feeling for looseness in the hub.
- Spin the wheel free. Grinding or roughness while spinning by hand points toward the bearing rather than the tire.
- Note whether the car is a Vanden Plas. That trim can carry a different part number than a standard XJ8 for the same model year.
- Confirm the build year against the 2004 body change. That single year determines whether the front uses a press-in bearing or a bolt-on hub.
Common questions
Is the XJ8 wheel bearing press-in or bolt-on?
Both designs exist depending on year. Cars from 1999 through 2003 press the bearing in, while 2004 through 2008 cars use a bolt-on hub instead.
Does the S-Type use the same wheel bearing as the XJ8?
For the bolt-on years, yes. Part HA590224 covers both the 2004 to 2008 XJ8 and the S-Type of the same era.
What is the rear XJ8 wheel bearing part number?
No dedicated rear listing is held for this car. Match the old part or VIN rather than ordering by year alone.
Why does the Vanden Plas show a different number than other XJ8 trims?
Vanden Plas rows list part 510010 across a 1996 to 2009 span, overlapping the years the standard XJ8 wheel bearing catalog shows HA590224. Where those readings conflict, match by the old part or VIN.
Does the XJR need a different wheel bearing than the XJ8?
No. The XJR follows the same XJ8 wheel bearing numbers for its build year, since it shares the platform.
