The short version
- Front LR3 wheel bearing is bolt-on hub 515067, 2005 to 2009, the same part used by the Range Rover Sport of those years.
- Rear: own listings, match by VIN.
- LR4 successor, 2010 onward: own listings, match by VIN, not shared with the LR3’s front number.
- The LR3 closed out Land Rover’s serviceable-bearing era, unlike the solid-axle Discovery that came before it.
Land Rover’s era of hand-packed bearings ends with this truck. Every LR3 wheel bearing is a sealed unit, ordered by part number or matched to the VIN, never repacked by hand. Nearly three tons loaded, this truck worked its hubs harder than anything Land Rover built before it.
Bolt-on front, shared with the Range Rover Sport
The LR3 wheel bearing front listing is a bolt-on hub, no press and no adjustment.
Rear coverage is different: no dedicated listing is held, match by VIN.

Rear LR3 wheel bearing coverage has no dedicated catalog listing, so match by VIN rather than guessing at a number. The LR4 that replaced the LR3 in 2010 carries its own separate listings too, also matched by VIN, and does not share the front 515067 number.
Shared front, different siblings
The front 515067 hub ties the LR3 to the Range Rover Sport built in the same 2005 to 2009 window. That is the only sharing the catalogs confirm.
The Discovery that preceded the LR3 used solid axles and a completely different design. The broader Land Rover catalog keeps every generation’s numbers separate unless stated otherwise.
A heavy truck works its hubs
Loaded, the LR3 approaches nearly three tons, and that curb and payload weight puts real strain on every hub. A bolt-on bearing under that kind of load wears differently than the same part on a lighter car.
Rough roads add to the load. Pothole impacts hit harder on a heavier vehicle, which is one reason LR3 wheel bearing failures often trace back to a single hard hit.
Diagnosing an LR3 wheel bearing
- Listen for load-sensitive drone. A failing LR3 wheel bearing often gets louder under acceleration or cornering, not just at a steady cruise.
- Jack up the corner and check for play. Grip the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock and rock it, feeling for looseness in the hub.
- Spin the wheel by hand. Roughness or grinding while spinning free points to the bearing rather than a tire or CV issue.
- Check the VIN before ordering a rear part. No dedicated rear listing exists, so matching by VIN avoids an expensive mistake.
- Note whether the truck has hit hard potholes. A single hard impact can start a bearing failure well before normal mileage would.
Common questions
Does the LR3 wheel bearing use the same front part as the Range Rover Sport?
Yes. Both share bolt-on hub 515067 for the 2005 to 2009 model years.
What is the rear LR3 wheel bearing part number?
No dedicated rear listing is held for this truck. Match by VIN instead of ordering by year.
Does the LR4 share a wheel bearing with the LR3?
No. The LR4, built from 2010 onward, carries its own separate listings matched by VIN, not the LR3’s front number.
Is the LR3 wheel bearing serviceable?
No. The front is a sealed bolt-on hub, and the LR3 marks the end of Land Rover’s hand-packed, serviceable bearing era.
Does vehicle weight affect LR3 wheel bearing life?
Yes. Loaded close to three tons, the LR3 puts more strain on its hubs than lighter Land Rover models, and hard pothole hits add to that load.
