The short version
- Three eras define the Quest wheel bearing. A boxy van ran 1993 to 2002, a Murano based minivan ran 2004 to 2009, and a redesigned van ran 2011 to 2017.
- The 2004 to 2009 front hub is 513310, shared with the Murano. Its rear hub is 512268, with a parallel improved design listing at 512292.
- Nissan skipped model years 2003 and 2010 entirely. No Quest was built either year, so no row exists for them.
- The 1993 to 2002 van pairs a press-in front bearing, 510028, with a rear hub that changes from 511008 to 512219 in 1997.
Nissan rebuilt this minivan twice between 1993 and 2017. The Quest wheel bearing numbers change at each rebuild.
Two of those breaks even skip a model year outright. In 2003 and again in 2010, the old van was gone and the new one had not yet arrived.
Three eras, three sets of bearings
The 1993 to 2002 van uses a press-in front bearing throughout, 510028. It pairs with the 511008 rear through 1996, then the 512219 rear hub from 1997.
The 2004 to 2009 van switched to bolt-on hubs at both ends, 513310 front and 512268 rear. The 2011 to 2017 van switched again, to 513338 front and 512407 rear.
Bolt-on and press-in are different jobs entirely. That difference is covered on the front versus rear page.
The Murano connection
The 2004 to 2009 front hub, 513310, is the same part the Murano crossover runs for those years.
Timken’s parallel listing, HA590046, confirms the same number from a second catalog. It is not a different part under a different name.
The 2011 van switches numbers again
The van built from 2011 to 2017 carries its own front hub, 513338, and its own rear hub, 512407. Neither number matches either earlier era.
BCA prints parallel listings for the same years, WE60603 front and WE60532 rear. That confirms the span from a second catalog.

Every model year this chart resolves: 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Nissan did not build a Quest for 2003 or for 2010, so those two years have no row here.
The 2004 to 2009 front and rear, the 1999 to 2002 rear, and both 2011 to 2017 positions each print more than one number. Match the number stamped on the old part rather than guessing between them.
The catalogs also disagree slightly below this page’s demand, at the 1997 to 1998 rear transition. That falls before the years this chart resolves, so it touches no row above.
The Mercury twin years
Through 2002 this van was built alongside the Mercury Villager, and the two share bearings year for year.
The dead badge’s listings often price lower. The parallel numbers on this page, WE60982 up front and WE61128 or HA590057 at the rear, confirm the same span from other sources.
Lookups across all three eras run through the cross reference page.
Diagnosing a Quest wheel bearing
A loaded Quest lives at maximum occupancy. The classic pattern on the early press-in fronts is a hum that swells with speed, and that wear pattern is explained on the failure page.
- Name the era, since all three use different numbers.
- Weave gently at speed, van empty, and place the hum.
- Rock each wheel at twelve and six.
- Rule out tire noise before ordering a bearing.
- Search Murano listings for a 2004 to 2009 front.
The routine is on the checking page. Tire drone gets its own page at the tire noise page.

Common questions
Which Quest wheel bearing do I need?
2011 to 2017 takes 513338 front and 512407 rear. 2004 to 2009 takes 513310 front and 512268 rear. The van before that takes 510028 front, with either 511008 or 512219 rear depending on year.
Do Murano parts fit?
The 2004 to 2009 front, yes, identically.
What happened in 2003 and 2010?
Nissan did not sell a Quest either year. Those are real gaps between generations, not missing research.
Do Villager parts fit?
Through 2002, year for year. Same van, different badge.
Do I need a press?
On the two early eras’ fronts, yes. The 2004 to 2017 van bolts on at both ends.
