The short version
- The Outlander wheel bearing chart splits rears by seat count, the site’s only such case: 5 and 7 passenger cars take different hubs.
- 2007 to 2013 rears: 512381 AWD 5-seat, 512382 AWD 7-seat, 512394 FWD 5-seat, 512380 FWD 7-seat.
- The third generation simplifies: 512563 FWD, 512564 AWD, then 512564 for all.
- Fronts are press-ins: 510079 for 2003 to 2006, WB000021 for 2007 to 2009, later by VIN.
Mitsubishi’s family crossover asks a question no other vehicle on this site does: how many seats? The third row changed the rear suspension enough that the hubs split with it.
Count the seats
A 2007 to 2013 rear Outlander wheel bearing order needs the drivetrain AND the seat count: four combinations, four numbers.
Both answers take seconds; skipping either gets the wrong box.

Why seats change bearings
Seven-seat Outlanders carry different rear suspension hardware for the extra load, and the hub follows.
The seat count is the fitment fact; check the actual car, not the brochure.
The pressed fronts
Both early generations press their front bearings into the knuckle, per the press-in page, while every rear listed bolts on. Plan the labor accordingly.
The make overview is on the Mitsubishi page. The smaller Outlander Sport runs an entirely separate chart.
Family crossover wear
Outlanders haul loaded through commutes and campgrounds alike, and their rear bearings work harder than most crossovers’ thanks to the seating flexibility. The weave test on the checking page places the corner.
Diagnosing an Outlander wheel bearing
- Count the seats before any 2007 to 2013 rear order.
- Confirm the drivetrain next.
- Weave at speed and place the hum.
- Rock each wheel at twelve and six.
- Plan press work for an early front.
Tire separation is on the tire noise page.
Common questions
Which Outlander wheel bearing fits my 2010 rear?
One of four numbers; the drivetrain and seat count decide. Read the table.
Really, the seats matter?
Really. The 7-seat rear suspension carries its own hubs.
What about the third generation?
Simpler: 512563 FWD, 512564 AWD, then 512564 across the board from 2017.
Do Outlander Sport parts fit?
No. Different vehicle, different chart, despite the name.
Do I need a press?
For the early fronts, yes. The rears bolt on.
