The short version
- A 2015 Lincoln MKC wheel bearing replacement on the rear depends on drivetrain: 512500 for AWD, 512496 for FWD with Automated Parking, or 512499 for FWD without it.
- The front has no documented number for any year from 2015 to 2019.
- All three rear listings cover 2015 through 2018 only.
- 2019 has no documented row on either end, front or rear.
This page covers the 2015 through 2019 Lincoln MKC. The rear is well documented and splits three ways, but the front is a genuine gap for every year on this page. A 2015 Lincoln MKC wheel bearing replacement always starts with the rear number and a front matched to the old part.
The core numbers
AWD rears use 512500. FWD rears split again by whether the truck has Automated Parking System: 512496 with it, 512499 without it.
Every front, on every trim from 2015 to 2018, has no documented number. A 2015 Lincoln MKC wheel bearing replacement on the front means matching the old part or running the VIN.

This page covers the 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019. Other years live on the main MKC wheel bearing page.
On FWD trucks the rear number depends on whether the Automated Parking System is fitted. Check the option before ordering, since 512496 and 512499 are not interchangeable.
The front is a genuine catalog gap on every year of this page. The catalogs we hold stop short, so match the front to the old part or confirm fitment by VIN.
Year by year
2015 to 2018: the rear follows drivetrain and, on FWD trucks, the parking option. A 2015 Lincoln MKC wheel bearing replacement on the rear is 512500, 512496, or 512499 depending on those two factors.
The front has no documented number across this same span. Match it to the old part or run the VIN regardless of drivetrain.
2019: neither the front nor the rear has a documented row. Every order this year needs the old part matched or the VIN confirmed.
A rear split three ways, a front left open
The rear split reflects drive type first and then an equipment option on FWD trucks, which is an unusual second layer for this class of vehicle. That option split means two FWD trucks built the same year can still need different rear parts. The front gap runs the full length of the page, so it is not a single missing year but a standing limit in the catalogs.
Diagnosing a Lincoln MKC wheel bearing
- Confirm drivetrain and, on FWD, the parking option. Both decide which rear number applies.
- Check for play at the suspect wheel. The technique at how to check a wheel bearing works the same on front or rear.
- Rule out tire wear before blaming the bearing. A cupped tire can hum in a way that mimics a bad bearing, as covered at tire noise or wheel bearing.
- Watch for an ABS light with the noise. A failing hub can trip a wheel speed fault, a pairing explained at bad bearing and the ABS light.
- Pull the old front hub before ordering a replacement. With no documented front number, the physical part or the VIN is the only reliable match.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2015 Lincoln MKC use?
A 2015 Lincoln MKC wheel bearing replacement on the rear is 512500 for AWD, 512496 for FWD with Automated Parking, or 512499 for FWD without it. The front has no documented number.
What wheel bearing fits a 2019 Lincoln MKC?
Neither the front nor the rear has a documented row for 2019. Match the old part or confirm fitment by VIN on either end.
How do I know if my MKC has Automated Parking System?
Check the option on the build sheet or window sticker, or confirm by VIN. That single detail decides between 512496 and 512499 on an FWD rear.
Why is the MKC front wheel bearing not listed anywhere?
The catalogs we hold stop short on the front for every year covered here. Match the number the old part carries or run the VIN instead.

Yes. AWD uses 512500, while FWD splits further by the parking option into 512496 or 512499.
