The short version
- A 2008 Jeep Liberty wheel bearing order is one front hub number, 513270, and it covers every truck built from 2008 through 2012.
- The handed front pair used on the 2002-2007 Liberty is gone. This generation drops that split entirely.
- The rear rides on a solid axle across the whole 2008-2012 run. There is no rear hub assembly to order.
- One number, five model years, no ABS or drivetrain splits to sort through up front.
The 2008-2012 Jeep Liberty simplified the front bearing setup that came before it. A 2008 Jeep Liberty wheel bearing order needs just one part number, and that same number carries all the way to 2012.
2008-2012 Jeep Liberty wheel bearing numbers at a glance
Front hub assembly 513270 fits every 2008 through 2012 Liberty, regardless of trim or ABS.
The rear is a solid axle. It uses bearings serviced as axle components, not a wheel bearing hub.

This page covers the 2008-2012 Jeep Liberty: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012. Other years live on the main Jeep Liberty wheel bearing page.
The earlier Liberty split its front hub by side, left 513176 and right 513177, an unusual setup for a front hub. That handed pair does not carry into this generation.
Every 2008-2012 truck, front left or front right, orders the same 513270. There is no side to match and no ABS variant to sort out.
Year by year
2008 through 2012 share one front hub number, 513270, with nothing that changes it across the run. A 2008 Jeep Liberty wheel bearing order and a 2012 order both point to that same number.
Trim level and drivetrain do not affect which number applies. The rear stays axle territory for all five years.
A simpler front than the Liberty that came before it
The 2002-2007 Liberty ran a handed front hub pair, a detail covered on the 2002-2007 Liberty page. The 2008-2012 redesign consolidates that down to one unhanded number.
Anyone comparing an older Liberty to a 2008 model should expect the ordering process to look different, not just the number itself.
Diagnosing a 2008-2012 Jeep Liberty wheel bearing
- Check for play with the wheel off the ground. Grip the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock and rock it. See how to check a wheel bearing for the method.
- Listen for a hum that shifts in turns. A worn front bearing often changes pitch leaning one direction. The pattern is on wheel bearing noise in turns.
- Watch for an ABS or traction light. A failing front hub can trip the ABS sensor built into it. See bad bearing and the ABS light.
- Rule out the rear axle before assuming a hub fault. Rear noise on this truck points to axle bearings, not a hub. See axle bearing versus wheel bearing.
- Confirm the part against the old hub before ordering. With only one number in play, a mismatch usually means the wrong vehicle was searched, not the wrong part.
