The short version
- A 2006 Pontiac Torrent wheel bearing order splits by ABS that single year, then simplifies to one front number from 2007 through 2009.
- 2006 fronts split by ABS: 513189 with ABS, 513190 without ABS.
- 2007 through 2009 fronts use one number, 513276, no ABS check needed.
- The rear rides an Equinox family listing. Match it by year and VIN rather than a fixed number here.
Pontiac sold the Torrent from 2006 through 2009 as a close cousin of the Chevrolet Equinox. The front wheel bearing number changes completely after the first year.

This page covers the 2006-2009 Pontiac Torrent: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. Other years live on the main Torrent wheel bearing page.
The front number changes completely at 2007. A 2006 Pontiac Torrent wheel bearing order for the front must first check ABS before picking 513189 or 513190.
2007 through 2009 fronts skip that check entirely and use 513276 either way.
The rear rides a listing shared with the Chevrolet Equinox. Match it by year and VIN rather than assuming a single Torrent specific number.
Year by year
2006 stands alone with the ABS split: 513189 with ABS, 513190 without.
2007 through 2009 share one front number, 513276, with no ABS complication.
The rear listing runs the whole span but depends on year and VIN throughout, not on a single fixed number.
Close cousin of the Equinox
The Torrent shared its rear wheel bearing listing with the Chevrolet Equinox rather than carrying its own dedicated rear number.
That shared listing is why the rear needs a year and VIN check instead of a straight lookup by model year alone.
The front listings, by contrast, are specific to the Torrent and follow the 2006 versus 2007 split described here. A 2006 Pontiac Torrent wheel bearing order should treat the front and rear as two separate questions.
Diagnosing a Pontiac Torrent wheel bearing
- Check the model year first. 2006 needs an ABS check up front, while 2007 through 2009 do not.
- Confirm ABS on a 2006 Torrent. Look for a tone ring or wiring harness at the hub. See bad bearing and the ABS light for the related symptom.
- Run the VIN for the rear. Since the rear rides an Equinox family listing, match by year and VIN rather than guessing a fixed number.
- Listen for the classic bearing hum. A growing hum with speed points to the bearing. See wheel bearing noise on turns for the pattern.
- Check for wheel play. Raise the Torrent, grab the wheel at 12 and 6 o’clock, and rock it. See how to check a wheel bearing for the full routine.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2006 Pontiac Torrent use?

A 2008 Pontiac Torrent uses front number 513276, the same as 2007 and 2009, with no ABS check needed.
Why does the front number change after 2006?
The catalogs list a completely different front hub starting in 2007. There is no carryover between the 2006 rows and 513276.
Is the rear wheel bearing the same as the Chevrolet Equinox?
The rear rides an Equinox family listing across the whole 2006-2009 span. Match it by year and VIN rather than a fixed Torrent only number.
How do I tell if my 2006 Torrent has ABS?
Look for a tone ring on the hub or a wiring harness feeding it. That detail decides between 513189 and 513190 that year.
