The short version
- The 2005 Subaru Legacy wheel bearing front hub is 513220 and the rear hub is 512293, one pair for the whole 2005-2009 run.
- Both numbers are shared with the Outback of the same years, which widens where a shop can find them.
- The front number outlasts this body and keeps appearing on the Legacy generation that follows.
- No trim, drivetrain, or model year splits either number across these five years.
2005 through 2009 is a single Legacy generation with no split at either end. A 2005 Subaru Legacy wheel bearing order needs just two numbers, one front and one rear, and both cover every year in the run.

This page covers the 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. Other years live on the main Subaru Legacy wheel bearing page.
513220 and 512293 both appear on the Outback of these same years, not just this Legacy. That sharing widens sourcing but it does not change either number.
The front hub also has a longer run than this body does, so a 2005 Subaru Legacy wheel bearing front order can turn up the same 513220 on a later car too.
Year by year
2005 through 2009 share one front and one rear number the whole way. Nothing in the catalogs splits either number by trim or by individual year.
A 2005 Subaru Legacy wheel bearing order is the same job whether the car is a 2005 or a 2009: front 513220, rear 512293.
A number that outlives this body
The front hub, 513220, does not stop with this generation. It carries into the Legacy that follows, covering a run of about ten years across two different bodies.
The rear hub, 512293, stays specific to this 2005-2009 body. See the 2010-2014 Legacy page for what replaces it, and the 2015-2018 Legacy page for the generation after that.
Diagnosing a 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy wheel bearing
- Confirm the end first. Front hubs use 513220, rear hubs use 512293, and neither changes by trim on this generation.
- Jack up the wheel and check for play. Looseness in the hub points to replacement. See how to check a wheel bearing.
- Listen for a hum that changes with turns. A bearing that gets louder in one direction is a common early sign. See wheel bearing noise in turns.
- Watch the ABS light along with the noise. A wearing hub can trip the light through its sensor. See a bad bearing and the ABS light.
- Rule out tire wear before ordering. Uneven tread can mimic a bearing hum at speed. See tire noise or wheel bearing.
