The short version
- A 2000 Kia Sportage front wheel bearing is a serviceable tapered set, SET47 inner and SET11 outer, on 2WD or 4×4.
- A second catalog lists that same front position as a cone and cup pair, LM102949-LM102910, instead.
- The rear is fully documented from 1998, SET2 inner and SET9 outer with seal 473823.
- 1995 to 1997 rear seals are documented, 223240 and 710387, but the bearings themselves are not.
This page covers the 1995 to 2002 Kia Sportage. A 2000 Kia Sportage front wheel bearing is a serviceable tapered set, SET47 inner and SET11 outer, the same on 2WD or 4×4. A second catalog lists that same front position as a cone and cup pair instead.
The core numbers for this Sportage
A parallel listing describes that same front position as cone and cup LM102949-LM102910 instead of a set number.
Match the number the old part carries whenever the two catalogs disagree on format.

This page covers the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage: 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002. Other years live on the main Kia Sportage wheel bearing page.
One lists it as SET47 inner and SET11 outer. The other lists a cone and cup pair, LM102949-LM102910, under the same seal, 710094.
Everything on this truck is serviceable tapered, front and rear alike. Match the number the old part carries rather than mixing formats.
Year by year
1995 through 2002 runs one front story the whole time. SET47 and SET11 apply regardless of drivetrain or year.
1998 through 2002 documents the rear fully, SET2 inner and SET9 outer with seal 473823.
1995 through 1997 only documents rear seals, 223240 and 710387, not the bearings themselves. Match the old part on any rear job from those three years.
Serviceable tapered, front to back
Every bearing on this Sportage is a serviceable tapered set, not a sealed cartridge. A 2000 Kia Sportage front wheel bearing job means repacking and preload work, not a straight swap. See repacking a wheel bearing for the basics.
Getting preload right on a tapered set extends its life, covered on preload and end play. Drivetrain layout still shapes wear on both ends, covered on drive type and wheel bearings.
Diagnosing a Kia Sportage wheel bearing
- Listen for a low rumble. A worn tapered bearing tends to growl and gets louder with speed.
- Rock the wheel at 12 and 6. Play in that direction points at the bearing rather than a tie rod.
- Confirm drivetrain does not change the number. 2WD and 4×4 both use the same SET47 and SET11 front set. A 2000 Kia Sportage front wheel bearing order is identical either way.
- Run a basic hands on check. A simple routine helps before buying parts, covered on how to check a wheel bearing.
- Plan on repacking, not just replacing. A tapered set can often be serviced rather than swapped outright.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 1995 Kia Sportage use?
The front uses SET47 inner and SET11 outer on every 1995 Sportage. The rear that year only has documented seals, 223240 and 710387, not a documented bearing.
What wheel bearing does a 2000 Kia Sportage use?
A 2000 Kia Sportage front wheel bearing is SET47 inner and SET11 outer, 2WD or 4×4. The rear that year uses SET2 inner and SET9 outer with seal 473823.
Is the rear bearing documented before 1998?
Only the seals are documented for 1995 through 1997, 223240 and 710387. The bearing itself is not, so match the old part or run the VIN.
Why do two catalogs list the front differently?
One catalog uses set numbers, SET47 and SET11. The other uses a cone and cup pair, LM102949-LM102910, for the same position.
Does 4×4 need a different bearing than 2WD?
No. Both drivetrains share the same SET47 and SET11 front set across this whole generation.
