The short version
- The 2014 Nissan Altima wheel bearing front hub is 513296, with a 32-tooth spline note for 2013-2015. The rear hub is 512388 for the whole 2013-2018 run.
- 2016-2018 cars carry the same front number, 513296. The later catalogs document it plainly, with no spline note.
- 513296 is one of Nissan’s busiest hubs. It is also used on the prior Altima’s V6 and on the QX60 and Pathfinder.
- The spline count matters on 2013-2015 cars specifically, even though the number stays the same across the generation.
The 2013-2018 Nissan Altima simplified the front bearing question down to a single number for the entire generation. A 2014 Nissan Altima wheel bearing order needs just one front number, 513296, regardless of engine. The rear is just as simple, one hub for all six model years.

This page covers the 2013-2018 Nissan Altima: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018. Other years live on the main Altima wheel bearing page.
513296 is the same front hub the previous Altima used on its 3.5L V6. It also shows up on the Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60.
That makes it easy to source. On 2013-2015 cars, the catalogs still carry a 32-tooth spline note, worth checking against the old part.
2016-2018 rows drop the spline note entirely, since the hardware settled by then.
Year by year
2013, 2014, and 2015 share the front number 513296. The catalogs flag a 32-tooth spline on these rows specifically.
2016, 2017, and 2018 carry the same 513296 front hub. The later catalogs document it without the spline note.
The rear hub, 512388, does not change at any point in this generation.
How this Altima connects to the generation before it
The prior generation is covered on the 2007-2012 Altima page. It split its front hub between 513294 for the 2.5L and 513296 for the 3.5L. Here, 513296 becomes the only front number, regardless of engine.
The rear hub, 512388, is also a straight carryover from the tail end of that prior generation. The engine-and-ABS story from the earliest 2002-2006 Altima page is long settled by this point.
Diagnosing an Altima wheel bearing
- Confirm the model year, though the front and rear numbers stay the same across this entire generation.
- Check the spline count against the old part on 2013-2015 cars, since the catalogs still flag it for those years.
- Run the standard check on the bearing check page before condemning the part.
- Watch for an ABS light, explained on the ABS light page, since a failing rear hub can trigger one.
- Buy the hub assembly complete, since both ends on this generation are bolt-on rather than serviceable.

Why do some listings mention a spline count on this generation?
