The short version
- A Sentra wheel bearing on the 2007 to 2012 cars splits by engine size, 2.0 liter against 2.5 liter. The 2.0 liter splits again by ABS.
- The 2.5 liter numbers are not an older generation. They belong to the same 2007 to 2012 body as the 2.0 liter numbers.
- The catalogs document 1987 through 2019. A 2020, 2021 or 2022 Sentra sits past the catalogs.
- Front and rear are both bolt on hub and bearing assemblies on every generation covered in this table.
The Nissan Sentra has run continuously since the 1980s, and the wheel bearing numbering habits changed several times across that span.
The 2007 to 2012 cars split by engine size. The cars before that split by year range instead, with an entirely different set of numbers.
The newest cars in this table share a listing with the NV200 van, since both were built on shared underpinnings for the same years. That is not a labeling error.
The engine size split
The 2007 to 2012 Sentra offered two engines, a 2.0 liter and a 2.5 liter. Each one took its own front and rear number, not a shared listing.
The 2.0 liter cars split again by ABS. A 2.0 liter Sentra with ABS takes a different number than a 2.0 liter Sentra without it.
The 2.5 liter engine did not carry that same ABS split in the catalog checked. One 2.5 liter number covers the run regardless of brakes.
Three details decide the correct 2007 to 2012 Sentra wheel bearing. Those are the engine, the ABS equipment, and the corner.
The real earlier generations
A prior version of this page labeled the 2.5 liter numbers as an earlier, unspecified Sentra generation. They actually belong to the same 2007 to 2012 body as the 2.0 liter numbers, just the larger engine trim.
The older Sentra, built before 2007, uses a completely different set of numbers. Those are listed further down the table.
That correction matters for anyone shopping a pre-2007 Sentra. The 513298 and 512383 numbers will not fit a truly older car, despite how the label used to read.
The 1991 to 1999 cars use a seal and bearing set rather than one bolt on hub. The 1987 to 1990 cars use a similar set with its own separate numbers.

Every model year this chart resolves: 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. A 2020, 2021 or 2022 Sentra sits past the catalogs and goes by the old part or the VIN.
513298 and 512383 are 2007 to 2012 parts, the 2.5 liter trim of the same body as the 2.0 liter cars above them. They do not fit a 1991 to 2006 Sentra.
The older cars use the 510061, 710127, 710125 and 710107 family further down this table. Match by year first, then engine.
The impact warning
A Sentra wheel bearing that fails at low mileage often traces back to an impact rather than ordinary wear.
An impact hard enough to dent a wheel can crack a bearing race without an immediate symptom. The noise can take weeks or months to show up.
If a bearing fails well under expected mileage, a recent curb or pothole strike is worth ruling in before assuming a bad part.
The pothole page covers this mechanism in more depth.
The failure page covers ordinary wear for comparison.
A cheap job to have done
Both ends of the Sentra use a bolt on hub and bearing assembly across every generation in this table. Neither corner needs a shop press.
A Sentra wheel bearing part is inexpensive across most of this range. The bulk of a shop bill is labor time, which stays modest since no press work is involved.
A written quote makes it easy to see how much of the bill is parts versus labor.
The quote page covers how to read one before approving work.
Diagnosing a Sentra wheel bearing
- Raise the wheel and rock it at twelve and six to feel for play in the hub.
- Confirm the engine size on a 2007 to 2012 car, since 2.0 liter and 2.5 liter take different numbers.
- Confirm the ABS equipment on a 2.0 liter car, since that decides the correct pair.
- Listen for the noise to track with speed rather than with engine load.
- Rule out the tires before ordering, since uneven tread hums in a similar way.
The full walkthrough is on the checking page.

Common questions
Are the 2.5 liter Sentra numbers for an older generation?
No. They are the 2.5 liter trim of the same 2007 to 2012 body as the 2.0 liter numbers, not an earlier car.
Does the Sentra rear wheel bearing need a press?
No. Every generation covered here uses a bolt on hub and bearing assembly at the rear.
Is a 2021 Sentra wheel bearing documented?
Not in the catalogs checked. Match the old part or the VIN for 2020 through 2022.
Does ABS change the front number on a 2.0 liter Sentra?
Yes. ABS and Non-ABS take different front and rear numbers on the 2.0 liter cars.
What number covers a Sentra built before 2000?
The 1991 to 1999 cars use a seal and bearing set rather than one bolt on number. The table above lists each piece separately, and the 1987 to 1990 cars use their own separate set.
