The short version

  • Front-drive 3000GT wheel bearing parts for 1991 through 1999: front hub 513157, listed with inner ball 510034.
  • VR-4 AWD rows and the rears interleave with other cars in the catalog. No line carries a clean position label.
  • 513133 turns up in that tangle for the 3000GT. It counts only as a candidate, confirmed by the part in hand or the VIN.
  • Every row here routes back through the cross reference tool, not a guess pulled from memory.

Mitsubishi built the 3000GT as a technology showcase. Twin turbos, active aerodynamics, all-wheel steering, all on one two-door platform. The parts catalog does not share the car’s polish: front-drive cars get one clean listing, while the VR-4’s rows blur into a shared bin.

Finding the right 3000GT wheel bearing

513157

This is the front hub bearing for the front-drive 3000GT, 1991 through 1999. It is listed with inner ball 510034 alongside it, not as a substitute part.

Both numbers apply to the same corner. The hub carries the assembly, and the ball is the inner component sold with it.

VR-4 and rear rows are not clean position labels.

The AWD VR-4’s front and rear entries interleave with the rear rows of other cars. There is no clean per-position label on each line.

513133 turns up in that tangle for the 3000GT. Treat it as a candidate, confirmed only once it matches the part already on the car or the VIN lookup.

Shared bones, split catalog rows

The 3000GT sold alongside the Mitsubishi Eclipse and the Mitsubishi Galant. None of those cars share its front hub number outright. All three ran through the same era of Mitsubishi parts distribution.

That shared era is part of why the VR-4 rows tangle. Anyone cross-checking numbers for a Mitsubishi Eclipse or a Galant will notice the same habit. It runs across the wider Mitsubishi lineup from this period, not just the 3000GT.

Why the 3000GT wears differently at each corner

VR-4 versions add all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering hardware. That routes more load through the rear corners than the front-drive base car ever sees. A 3000GT wheel bearing at the rear of a VR-4 works a harder duty cycle.

That extra load is one reason to check for pothole damage on high-mileage VR-4 examples. It also pays to rule out tire noise before blaming a bearing for a new sound.

Diagnosing a 3000GT wheel bearing

  1. Listen for speed-linked noise. A failing 3000GT wheel bearing hums or growls, rising and falling with road speed, not engine RPM.
  2. Jack up the corner. With the wheel off the ground, grip it top and bottom and rock it to feel for play.
  3. Spin the wheel by hand. Listen for grinding or roughness moving through the hub as it turns.
  4. Check for ABS faults. On VR-4 models a worn bearing can trigger a fault, since the hub assembly carries the ABS sensor.
  5. Confirm before ordering. Match the old part number or the VIN against the catalog rows first.

Common questions

What is the 3000GT wheel bearing part number for a front-drive car?

The front hub is 513157 for 1991 through 1999. It is listed with inner ball 510034 as the matching component.

Does 513133 fit every VR-4 corner?

Not confirmed on its own. It appears in rows that interleave with other cars and years. Match it against the old part or the VIN before ordering.

Why do the VR-4 rows interleave with other cars?

The catalog groups these rows by supplier batch across the AWD-era Mitsubishi lineup. Each line is not labeled by position. That is a catalog habit, not proof that one number fits every 3000GT corner.

Is the front-drive 3000GT bearing the same as the Eclipse or Galant?

No. The numbers here, 513157 and 510034, are specific to the 3000GT front axle. They are not shared with those two model listings on this site.

How can someone verify a 3000GT wheel bearing number before buying?

Run the old part number or the VIN through the cross reference lookup, rather than guessing from the interleaved rows. That step matters most for VR-4 and rear positions, where 513133 remains unconfirmed.

About this page

Wheel Bearing Editorial Team The Wheel Bearing Editorial Team researches, builds and edits wheelbearing.net. Every part number on the site is transcribed from manufacturer and distributor catalogs (Moog, Timken, SKF, National, BCA/NTN) rather than generated, and every vehicle page is checked against the catalog rows before it goes live. When two catalogs disagree, the page shows both readings and tells you to match the old part or the VIN. More about how this site is built.
