The short version
- A 2007 Scion tC wheel bearing is 510070 in front, a press in design used from 2005 through 2009.
- 2010 is a gap year up front. The catalogs do not document a front number for that model year alone.
- The rear hub, 512329, covers every tC from 2005 to 2010 with no changes.
- Match the old part or the VIN if a 2010 front listing does not turn up in a lookup.
From 2005 to 2010, the Scion tC used a press in front wheel bearing for most of its run. A 2007 Scion tC wheel bearing is 510070, the same number that carries through 2009. The rear stayed one part, 512329, for the full six years.

2010 has no documented front listing. The rear, 512329, covers all six years without a break.

This page covers the 2005-2010 Scion tC: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010. Other years live on the main tC wheel bearing page.
The press in front bearing, 510070, is documented from 2005 through 2009. The tC itself ran one more year, to 2010, but the catalogs we hold do not carry a 2010 front listing. Match the old part or run the VIN on a 2010 front, and see how a press in bearing gets replaced.
Year by year
2005 through 2009 is the clean, single number stretch. A 2007 Scion tC wheel bearing, like every year in that span, is 510070 in front. The rear, 512329, already covers these years too.
2010 breaks the front listing. The catalogs we hold do not document a front number for that year alone. The rear, 512329, still covers 2010 without any gap.
A different design comes later
Nothing about this front number carries forward. The next tC, built from 2011 to 2016, uses a completely different front design, covered on the 2011-2016 Scion tC wheel bearing page.
The catalogs also note that 510070 serves a wide Toyota family beyond the tC. Order from this car’s own row, not a number remembered from another Toyota.
Diagnosing a 2005-2010 Scion tC wheel bearing
- Confirm the front design. This generation uses a press in bearing, not a bolt on hub, so the job differs from a simple swap.
- Listen for the noise pattern. A worn bearing usually hums or growls and gets louder with speed. Noise that shifts in turns often points at the bearing over other suspects.
- Rule out the tires first. Cupped or unevenly worn tires can mimic a bearing hum. Separating tire noise from bearing noise saves an unnecessary parts order.
- Check for play and roughness. With the wheel off the ground, rock it at 12 and 6 o’clock, then spin it by hand. A full bearing check walkthrough covers both tests.
- Match the number to the old part. On a 2010 front, the catalogs stop short. The old bearing’s stamped number or a VIN lookup settles it, not a guess.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2007 Scion tC use?
A 2007 Scion tC wheel bearing is 510070 in front and 512329 in the rear. Both numbers hold for the full 2005 to 2009 front span and the full 2005 to 2010 rear span.
What wheel bearing does a 2010 Scion tC use in front?
The catalogs we hold do not document a front listing for the 2010 Scion tC. Match the number the old part carries or confirm it by VIN.
Why does the tC front bearing press in instead of bolt on?
This generation of tC was built with a press in ball bearing at the front hub, a design carried across a wide Toyota family. It requires a press to remove and install, unlike a bolt on hub assembly.
Does the rear wheel bearing change across this generation?
No. The rear number, 512329, covers every tC from 2005 through 2010 with no splits or gaps.
Will the 2011-2016 tC front number work on this car?
No. The later tC uses a completely different front design starting in 2011. Nothing from that page carries back to this generation.
