The short version
- A Yaris wheel bearing at the front carries one number, WE60847, across nearly the whole 2006 to 2019 run.
- The rear splits every few years: 512370 with ABS for 2006 and 2007, 512371 without it.
- The 2012 to 2014 rear listing is Japan built, with the VIN’s first character given as J.
- Rear 2015 to 2018 sits past the catalogs and goes by the old part or the VIN.
Toyota answered the front Yaris wheel bearing question once and left it alone for thirteen years. Nobody wrote a sequel for the rear.
The rear splits three ways: by ABS, by build country, and by a gap the catalogs never filled. Three separate questions decide one part number.
Read the first VIN character
The 2012 to 2014 rear listing is qualified Japan built, with the VIN’s first character given as J.
That is unusually explicit. Most build country splits leave the buyer to work out the coding. This one just prints the answer.
Confirm the VIN before ordering the rear on one of these years. Lookups run through the cross reference page.
One number covers the front
The front Yaris wheel bearing is cited under one number for essentially the entire US run. There is no ABS split and no build country qualifier.
That is unusual next to the rear, where the same years split three or four ways. The front is the one question on this car with a flat answer.
The general difference between the two ends is on the front versus rear page. A front job usually costs more labor even on a bolt on car.
512370 answers three different questions
512370 is the rear number for 2006 and 2007 cars with four wheel ABS. It also covers every 2008 to 2011 car regardless of ABS. It returns again for 2012 to 2014 cars built in Japan.
The physical part did not change between those spans. The catalog stopped printing a qualifier once ABS became standard. It picked one back up when build country started to matter.
Treat the qualifier as the thing to check, not the number. A 512370 listing is right for most of the range. The words next to it still decide the year.
The ABS split on the early cars
512370 is cited at the rear for cars with four wheel ABS and 512371 for cars without it, both for the 2006 and 2007 model years.
The front carries its own version of the same split those two years: WB000004 for ABS cars, WB000005 without it.
The encoder ring the ABS sensor reads is built into the bearing seal, so a car without the option never needed one. A bearing installed backward on either end can trip the same light, which is covered on the orientation page.
Yaris wheel bearing part numbers

| 2015 to 2018 | Rear, past the catalogs | match old part or VIN |
| 2006 to 2019 | Front | WE60847 check price |
| 2012 to 2014 | Rear, Japan built, VIN begins J | 512370 check price |
| 2008 to 2014 | Rear, parallel listing | WE60890 check price |
| 2008 to 2011 | Rear | 512370 check price |
| 2006 to 2009 | Front, ABS | WB000004 check price |
| 2007 | Front inner, four wheel ABS | WE60890 check price |
| 2007 | Front inner, without ABS | WE61237 check price |
| 2006 to 2007 | Front, without ABS | WB000005 check price |
| 2006 to 2007 | Rear, with four wheel ABS | 512370 check price |
| 2006 to 2007 | Rear, without ABS | 512371 check price |
Every model year this chart resolves at the front: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The rear for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 sits past the catalogs and goes by the old part or the VIN.
WE60890 is the catalog number for the 2007 front inner bearing with four wheel ABS, and it is also the catalog number for the rear bearing across 2008 to 2014.
Same number, two positions, two different spans. Match it against the position printed on the old part rather than assuming a front listing and a rear listing point at the same job.
A light car, and a cheap fix worth not cheapening
This is among the lightest vehicles covered here, and a light car is gentle on its bearings in ordinary driving.
Most Yaris failures trace back to an event rather than to mileage, since a small wheel with a short sidewall passes more of a pothole straight into the hub.
Ask what the car hit before assuming plain wear. That question is covered on the pothole page.
Bolt on hubs and a shared platform keep this among the cheaper jobs on the site, which is exactly why it is worth asking what a low quote leaves out. A written quote and a look at what any remaining warranty covers are on the quote page and the warranty page.
Diagnosing a Yaris wheel bearing
Most of what decides the part number is already on the old bearing or the VIN sticker, so the checking routine below is mainly about confirming the noise before spending anything.
- Read the first VIN character before ordering a rear bearing on a 2012 to 2014 car.
- Check for ABS on a 2006 or 2007 to pick the right number at either end.
- Ask what it has hit, since impact explains most failures on a car this light.
- Weave at road speed and note which side the noise follows.
- Rule out the tires before ordering a hub.
The routine is on the checking page, and the sound comparison against worn tread is on the tire noise page.

Common questions
Which Yaris wheel bearing do I need?
The front runs one number, WE60847, across nearly the whole range. The rear depends on ABS, build country and year, so check the table above against the old part.
Does build country change a Yaris wheel bearing?
On the 2012 to 2014 rear listing yes, qualified Japan built with a VIN beginning J. Earlier and later years carry no such qualifier.
Does ABS matter?
On 2006 and 2007 cars yes, at both ends. Confirm ABS before ordering either the front or the rear on those two years.
What about a 2015 to 2018 rear?
Undocumented in the catalogs checked here. Match the old part or the VIN rather than guessing from a listing meant for an earlier year.
Do I need a press?
No. These use bolt on hub units front and rear.
