Home › Vehicles › Pontiac › Pontiac G6 › 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- The 2005 to 2010 Pontiac G6 splits its wheel bearings by ABS and stud count. The 2006 Pontiac G6 front wheel bearing is 513214 with four wheel ABS or 513215 without it.
- Front hubs split again from 2007 to 2010 into four stud and five stud versions. The numbers are 513204, 513205, and 513206.
- Rear hubs run 512285 with ABS and 512287 without ABS through 2007. From 2008 to 2010 they settle on 512285 alone.
- Count the studs and check for ABS before ordering. Two separate listings cover the same years from different angles.
This page covers the 2005 to 2010 Pontiac G6, a sedan with two different wheel bearing charts. A 2006 Pontiac G6 front wheel bearing is chosen by ABS and stud count, not by trim badge. The same logic carries through 2010.
Pontiac G6 front and rear wheel bearing numbers
One line covers 513214 and 513215 by ABS across the whole run. Another, starting in 2007, splits the front by stud count into 513204, 513205, and 513206.
Rear hubs are simpler: 512285 and 512287 by ABS through 2007. From 2008 on it is one number, 512285.

This page covers the 2005 to 2010 Pontiac G6: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010. Other years live on the main Pontiac G6 wheel bearing page.
The catalogs slice the front two different ways. One line covers all years by ABS alone, and another, active from 2007, splits by stud count instead.
Both are real listings for the same car. Count the studs, check for ABS, and match the number the old part carries.
Year by year
2005 to 2007 fronts split cleanly by ABS: 513214 with it, 513215 without. Rears follow the same pattern, 512285 with ABS and 512287 without.
The catalogs add a second front listing from 2007, grouped by stud count instead of ABS. A 2006 Pontiac G6 front wheel bearing falls under the ABS only listing. A 2007 to 2010 G6 owner should check both rows and match by stud count.
2008 to 2010 rears settle on a single number, 512285, regardless of ABS. Fronts for these years still follow the stud count split described above.
Front wheel drive wear on the G6
Every G6 in this run is front wheel drive. The front hubs carry both the steering load and the drive load, so they wear faster than a rear hub on the same car. See how drive type affects wheel bearing wear for the general pattern.
ABS sensor rings are built into these hub assemblies. A failing bearing can trip a false ABS or traction light before it gets loud. Read what a bad bearing does to the ABS light if the dash lit up first.
Diagnosing a Pontiac G6 wheel bearing
- Listen for a rhythmic hum. A worn wheel bearing hums or growls in step with road speed. It grows louder in a curve that loads that side.
- Rule out the tires first. Cupped or uneven tire wear can sound similar. Compare it against tire noise versus a wheel bearing before buying a part.
- Check for play. Raise the wheel off the ground and rock it at 12 and 6 o’clock. This follows the standard wheel bearing check.
- Watch the ABS light. A hub assembly failure often takes the wheel speed sensor with it. The sensor ring lives on the bearing itself.
- Count the studs and confirm ABS. Both details decide which of the numbers above is correct for that car.
Common questions
What is the 2006 Pontiac G6 front wheel bearing number?
A 2006 Pontiac G6 front wheel bearing is 513214 with four wheel ABS or 513215 without it. The rear is 512285 with ABS or 512287 without.
What wheel bearing does a 2009 Pontiac G6 need?
By 2009 the front is chosen by stud count. Four stud ABS cars take 513204, four stud non ABS cars take 513205, and five stud ABS cars take 513206. The rear for 2009 is 512285.
Why do two different front numbers exist for the same years?
The catalogs document this generation twice, once by ABS alone and once by stud count starting in 2007. Both listings are real. Match whichever number the old part in the car carries.
Does the G6 rear bearing change with ABS?
Yes, through 2007. From 2005 to 2007 the rear splits into 512285 with four wheel ABS and 512287 without it. Both fold into 512285 from 2008 on.
Can a four stud front hub go on a five stud G6?
No. Match the hub’s stud pattern first. This decides between 513204 or 513205 for four stud cars and 513206 for five stud cars.
