The short version
- 2005 Toyota Corolla wheel bearing numbers hold for the whole 2003-2008 run. Front is 510070, rear is 512217 with ABS or 512218 without.
- The front bearing is press-in and does not split by trim or ABS.
- 512217 and 512218 are two different rear hubs, not two names for the same part.
- Nothing about the year changes any of these numbers across the six-year run.
Six model years, 2003 through 2008, make up this generation. The Corolla asks exactly one question before it hands over a rear number: does the car have ABS. Everything else on the chart stays fixed.
The core numbers
The 2005 Toyota Corolla wheel bearing chart starts with the front press-in bearing, 510070. It covers every 2003-2008 Corolla regardless of trim or ABS.
The rear splits into two distinct hubs by ABS, and the split holds for the entire run. Neither hub carries a supersession to the other.

This page covers the 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008. Other years live on the main Toyota Corolla wheel bearing page.
These are two different castings, not a running change or a supersession of one another.
A 2005 Toyota Corolla wheel bearing order at the rear has to start with an ABS check. The sensor lives inside the hub; see the hub and ABS sensor page.
Year by year
Every one of the 2003 through 2008 model years uses the same front number and the same ABS-based rear split. A 2005 Toyota Corolla wheel bearing order looks identical to a 2003 or a 2008 one. The ABS question is the only decision this generation asks.
A steady chart between two Corolla generations
The front number moved on from the 1993-2002 Corolla, which used 510007. This generation uses 510070, with no changes after that.
The ABS split ended here. The 2009-2013 Corolla that followed settled on a single rear hub number for every car.
Diagnosing a Toyota Corolla wheel bearing
- Listen for the noise. A worn bearing usually growls or hums, growing louder as road speed increases.
- Note whether it changes in a turn. A loaded bearing often gets louder in one direction; see the turning-noise guide.
- Rule out the tires. Cupped or unevenly worn tires can sound similar to a bearing; compare against the tire noise page.
- Check for an ABS light. Since the sensor sits in the rear hub on ABS cars, a failing bearing can set a code.
- Check for physical play. With the wheel off the ground, rock it at 12 and 6 o’clock and note any looseness.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2005 Toyota Corolla use?
Front is 510070. At the rear, an ABS car takes 512217 and a non-ABS car takes 512218. That is the full 2005 Toyota Corolla wheel bearing chart.
What wheel bearing does a 2003 Toyota Corolla use?
The same chart as every other year in this generation: 510070 front, 512217 rear with ABS, 512218 rear without.
Are 512217 and 512218 interchangeable?
No. They are different rear hub castings tied to whether the car has ABS. They are not two listings for the same part.
Does the front wheel bearing depend on ABS?
No. The front stays on 510070 regardless of ABS; only the rear splits by that feature. That is true across the full 2003-2008 span.
Did anything change on this Corolla between 2003 and 2008?
Not on the wheel bearing chart. The same front number and the same ABS-based rear split cover the entire run. The catalogs show no running changes at all.
