Home › Vehicles › Kia › Kia Rondo Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- Rondo wheel bearing coverage for the 2007 through 2009 US run: front press-in assembly WB000015, used all three years.
- Rear hub HA590052 covers 2008 and 2009 models.
- The 2007 rear sits in rows shared with other cars. Match the old part or the VIN.
- Front is press-in, rear is bolt-on, and the rear rows have a one-year gap.
Kia sold the Rondo as a tall little wagon nobody quite knew how to categorize, not a minivan and not a crossover. The catalog treats each end of the car differently too. One end presses in, the other bolts on, and one model year sits outside the clean rear listing.
Finding the right Rondo wheel bearing
This is the front press-in bearing assembly for the Rondo, covering the full 2007 through 2009 US run. It is the same front part for all three years.
The rear tells a different story. HA590052 only confirms for 2008 and 2009, not 2007.

HA590052 confirms cleanly for 2008 and 2009 rear hubs. The 2007 model year rear rows sit interleaved with other cars in the same catalog run.
For a 2007 Rondo, match the old part number or the VIN rather than assuming HA590052 fits.
Press front, bolt-on rear
The Rondo’s front corner uses a press-in bearing assembly, which means the bearing seats inside the hub housing rather than arriving as a complete bolt-on hub. The rear takes the opposite approach, a bolt-on hub unit.
Knowing which style a given corner uses matters before starting a repair, since press-in jobs need a press or a shop willing to do the work. A quick wheel bearing check confirms which corner is actually failing before parts get ordered.
Part of a wider Kia family
The Rondo sold alongside the Kia Optima during its run, though the two do not share these bearing numbers. Both belong to the broader Kia lineup from the same period, where press-in fronts and bolt-on rears show up on several models.
Diagnosing a Rondo wheel bearing
- Listen for speed-linked noise. A failing Rondo wheel bearing hums or growls, and the pitch tracks road speed.
- Jack up the affected wheel. Grip it top and bottom, then rock it to feel for play.
- Spin the wheel by hand. Listen for grinding as it turns freely off the ground.
- Note the corner. Front press-in jobs and rear bolt-on jobs need different tools and parts.
- Match before ordering. Confirm the old part number or the VIN, especially for a 2007 rear.
Common questions
What is the Rondo wheel bearing part number for the front?
WB000015 covers the front press-in bearing assembly for all three US model years, 2007 through 2009.
Does HA590052 fit a 2007 Rondo rear?
Not confirmed. HA590052 is documented for 2008 and 2009. For 2007, match the old part or the VIN instead.
Is the Rondo front bearing press-in or bolt-on?
Press-in. The rear uses a separate bolt-on hub, which is a different kind of job entirely.
Did the Rondo share its bearings with the Kia Optima?
Not on this page’s listings. Both cars sold under Kia during overlapping years, but these numbers are specific to the Rondo.
How should a shop confirm a Rondo wheel bearing before ordering?
Run the old part number or the VIN through the cross reference lookup first. That matters most for the 2007 rear, where the rows are not cleanly labeled.
