The short version

- FWD rear is different. 512334 covers 2007 and 2008 only.

Lincoln built the first generation MKX from 2007 through 2010, and drivetrain decides most of the wheel bearing story. A 2007 Lincoln MKX wheel bearing order starts with the front, 518517, the same on every truck. The rear depends on whether it is AWD or FWD.

This page covers the 2007 to 2010 Lincoln MKX: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010. Other years live on the main Lincoln MKX wheel bearing page.
The FWD rear listing dies two years early. It covers 2007 and 2008 only, while the AWD rear runs the full four years.
Check the drivetrain first on every one of these trucks. A 2009 or 2010 FWD rear has no documented number, so match the old part or run the VIN.
Year by year
A 2007 Lincoln MKX wheel bearing order is fully documented: 518517 front, 512335 AWD rear, 512334 FWD rear. 2008 matches it exactly.
2009 and 2010 keep the same front, 518517, and the same AWD rear, 512335. FWD rear on these two years is not documented.
Two MKX generations, two parts lists
The MKX moved to a second generation in 2011 with its own wheel bearing lineup. See the 2011 to 2015 Lincoln MKX page for those numbers.
Nothing carries between the two generations. Treat 2007 to 2010 as a closed set.
Diagnosing a Lincoln MKX wheel bearing
- Confirm the drivetrain first. AWD and FWD MKX trucks take different rear numbers. Check the badge or the build sheet before doing anything else.
- Listen for a hum. A worn bearing hums or growls, often louder in corners. See the wheel bearing noise page for what to listen for.
- Check for play. Lift the wheel and rock it at 12 and 6 o’clock. How to check a wheel bearing covers the full method.
- Read up on drive type. AWD and FWD wear their bearings differently over time. This page explains the general pattern.
- Match late FWD trucks to the old part. 2009 and 2010 FWD rears have no catalog number. Pull the old hub and match it, or run the VIN.
