The short version
- A 2001 Nissan Xterra wheel bearing up front is serviceable SET37, sealed with 710072, on both 2WD and 4×4 trucks.
- The 4×4 outer cone and cup print as LM300849-LM300811, one digit off the 2WD row.
- The 2WD row prints as LM300848-LM300811, a catalog conflict worth matching to the old cone.
- Rear numbers split by engine, 513246 for four cylinder and 516005 for V6.
The 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra runs one front hardware story for all five model years. A 2001 Nissan Xterra wheel bearing lookup is nearly identical to any other year in this run. The rear then splits by engine instead of drivetrain.
Front and rear numbers for this generation
A 2001 Nissan Xterra wheel bearing front bearing is serviceable, inner SET37, sealed with 710072 on every truck.
The outer cone and cup print slightly differently between 4×4 and 2WD trucks, and the rear number depends on whether the engine is four cylinder or V6.

Lookups run through the cross reference page.
This page covers the 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004. Other years live on the main Nissan Xterra wheel bearing page.
The 2WD outer cone prints as LM300848-LM300811, one digit off the 4×4 row of LM300849-LM300811. Treat this as a catalog printing conflict.
Match the number the old cone actually carries rather than trusting either printed row on its own. A 2001 Nissan Xterra wheel bearing order built off the wrong digit is an easy mistake to make.
Year by year
One hardware story covers 2000 through 2004 on this Xterra. The front SET37 bearing and its seal, 710072, do not change across the run.
The rear stays tied to engine choice for all five years, 513246 for four cylinder trucks and 516005 for V6 trucks. Drivetrain never changes the rear number.
Serviceable sets and axle position rears
Every front bearing on this Xterra is a serviceable tapered set, built from a cone and cup rather than a sealed cartridge. The rear sits in axle bearing territory instead.
Drivetrain changes the outer cone print on the front, so how drive type affects wheel bearings is worth a read before ordering. The next generation lives on the 2005-2015 Xterra page.
Diagnosing a Nissan Xterra wheel bearing
- Confirm the drivetrain. A 2001 Nissan Xterra wheel bearing outer cone print differs slightly between 2WD and 4×4 trucks.
- Confirm the engine for the rear. Four cylinder and V6 trucks use different rear numbers, 513246 or 516005.
- Match the old cone when in doubt. The printed digit conflict between LM300848 and LM300849 means the old part is the safer reference.
- Listen for road speed hum. A worn tapered bearing hums louder as speed rises, front or rear.
- Check for wheel play. See how to check a wheel bearing for the rock and listen method.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2001 Nissan Xterra use?
The front is serviceable SET37, sealed with 710072, on both 2WD and 4×4 trucks. The rear is 513246 on four cylinder trucks or 516005 on V6 trucks.
What wheel bearing does a 2004 Nissan Xterra use?
The 2004 Xterra shares the same front and rear story as every other year in this run. Front SET37 and the engine specific rear number both still apply.
Is the Nissan Xterra front outer cone different for 2WD and 4×4?
The catalogs print it slightly differently, LM300849-LM300811 for 4×4 and LM300848-LM300811 for 2WD. Treat it as a printing conflict and match the old cone.
Does the Nissan Xterra rear bearing change with drivetrain?
No. The rear splits by engine, not drivetrain. Four cylinder trucks use 513246, and V6 trucks use 516005.
Is the Nissan Xterra front wheel bearing serviceable or a sealed hub?
It is serviceable, built from tapered cone and cup sets rather than a sealed cartridge. That holds true on every 2000 to 2004 truck.
