The short version
- The 2006 to 2011 Kia Rio moves to a press in front, and a 2008 Kia Rio wheel bearing up front is 510055, documented through 2009 only.
- Rear bearings split by ABS, 512324 with four wheel ABS or 512325 without, and one catalog line carries them all the way to 2011.
- 2010 and 2011 fronts are not documented anywhere in the catalogs we hold.
- The catalogs disagree on where this generation ends, so match the old part when in doubt.
This page covers the 2006 to 2011 Kia Rio, the generation where the front switches from a serviceable bearing to a press in ball bearing. A 2008 Kia Rio wheel bearing up front is 510055, a number that stops being documented after 2009. The rear tells a longer, if messier, story.
Kia Rio press in front and rear numbers
The front, a press in wheel bearing numbered 510055, is documented from 2006 through 2009. Nothing is documented for 2010 or 2011.
The rear splits by ABS, 512324 with it and 512325 without, and one catalog line carries both through 2011 while another line only reaches 2009.

This page covers the 2006 to 2011 Kia Rio: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011. Other years live on the main Kia Rio wheel bearing page.
The catalogs disagree on where this generation ends. One line carries the rear numbers to 2011. Another stops at 2009, and nobody documents the 2010 or 2011 front.
State the disagreement rather than guessing past it. Match the number the old part carries when a listing runs short.
Year by year
2006 through 2009 is fully documented at both ends. The front is 510055, the rear is 512324 or 512325 depending on ABS.
A 2008 Kia Rio wheel bearing sits comfortably in that documented window, front and rear alike.
2010 and 2011 rears rest on one catalog line’s word alone, still 512324 or 512325 by ABS. The front is an honest gap for both years.
A press in front on a bolt on rear
This generation mixes a press in front with a bolt on rear hub. That combination shows up on more than one small car of the era, so confirm which design the front actually is before ordering.
The earlier Rio, at the 2001 to 2005 Kia Rio page, is fully serviceable instead. The later Rio, at the 2012 to 2017 Kia Rio page, documents even less.
Diagnosing a Kia Rio wheel bearing
- Confirm ABS before ordering a rear. The rear number depends entirely on whether the car has four wheel ABS.
- Listen for a hum that rises with speed. This points at a bearing rather than a suspension bushing.
- Rule out the tires. Read tire noise versus a wheel bearing before committing to a part.
- Check for play at the wheel. Follow the standard wheel bearing check with the wheel off the ground.
- Match the old part on a 2010 or 2011 front. With no documented number, the old bearing is the only reliable guide.
Common questions
What is the 2008 Kia Rio wheel bearing number up front?
A 2008 Kia Rio wheel bearing at the front is 510055, a press in ball bearing documented through 2009.
What wheel bearing does a 2010 Kia Rio use up front?
The front for a 2010 Rio is not documented in the catalogs we hold. Match the old part or run the VIN.
Does the rear bearing depend on ABS?
Yes. Rear bearings split into 512324 with four wheel ABS and 512325 without it. That split holds across the whole 2006 to 2011 run.
Why do the catalogs disagree about 2010 and 2011?
One rear listing runs through 2011 while a related listing stops at 2009. Neither documents the front for those two years, so state the gap rather than filling it.
Can 2010 or 2011 fronts use the 510055 number?
Not on the strength of the catalogs alone. Match the number the old part carries or run the VIN before ordering.
