The short version
- The 2002 to 2007 Saturn Vue uses just two front numbers and two rear numbers for its entire run, so a 2006 Saturn Vue wheel bearing order comes down to one question: does it have ABS.
- Front is 513189 with four wheel ABS or 513190 without it, unchanged across all six years.
- Rear is 512229 with ABS or 512230 without it, matching the same split as the front.
- Nothing else about trim, engine, or drivetrain changes these four numbers on this generation.
From 2002 to 2007, Saturn built the first Vue on one hub design, front and rear. The only fork in the road is ABS. A 2006 Saturn Vue wheel bearing order is exactly the same as a 2003 or a 2007 order once you know that.

This page covers the 2002-2007 Saturn Vue: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. Other years live on the main Saturn Vue wheel bearing page.
Check for the tone ring and speed sensor before ordering, since that is what separates 513189 from 513190 in front and 512229 from 512230 in the rear. The number 512229 also turns up in listings for other GM utility vehicles of the same era. Order by this Vue’s row, not by a number remembered from another truck.
Year by year
2002 through 2007 carry no changes at all: the same four numbers apply in every one of these years. A 2006 Saturn Vue wheel bearing job looks identical to a 2002 or 2004 job once ABS is confirmed.
The only thing worth resolving per year is whether that specific Vue has four wheel ABS, since the badge and trim level do not reliably tell you.
This Vue and the body change that followed it
Saturn redesigned the Vue for 2008, and that new body uses a completely different pair of numbers on the 2008 to 2010 Saturn Vue wheel bearing page. Nothing from this generation carries forward.
Because the front and rear split the same way, ABS is really the whole story on this truck. See how drivetrain and equipment change wheel bearing numbers for how that pattern shows up on other vehicles too.
Diagnosing a Saturn Vue wheel bearing
- Confirm ABS equipment first. Look for the tone ring on the hub or check the build sheet before ordering either number.
- Listen for a growl that grows with speed. See how to check a wheel bearing for the basic routine.
- Check the noise in a turn. Wheel bearing noise on turns tends to change volume depending on which way you steer.
- Watch for an ABS light with the noise. A failing hub with a built in sensor can trip the ABS light before the growl gets loud.
- Jack it up and check for play. Grab the tire at top and bottom with the brake released and feel for looseness.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2006 Saturn Vue use?
A 2006 Saturn Vue wheel bearing is 513189 in front with ABS or 513190 without it. The rear is 512229 with ABS or 512230 without it.
What wheel bearing does a 2003 Saturn Vue use?
A 2003 Vue uses the exact same numbers as every other year in this generation: 513189 or 513190 front, 512229 or 512230 rear, split only by ABS.
Do all 2002 to 2007 Saturn Vue trims use the same wheel bearing?
Yes, as long as the ABS equipment matches. Trim level, engine, and drivetrain do not change the number, so a 2006 Saturn Vue wheel bearing order needs nothing more than confirming ABS.
How do I tell if my Vue has ABS?
Look for a tone ring on the hub flange or a sensor wire routed to that corner. The build sheet or a VIN decode will also confirm it if the hub is already off the car.
Can I use a 2008 Saturn Vue wheel bearing on my 2006 model?
No. The 2008 redesign uses a different number front and rear, and none of it carries back to 2002 through 2007 trucks.
