The short version
- Every 2003-2014 Volvo XC90 uses the same two wheel bearings for all twelve years: 513208 at the front and 512273 at the rear.
- A 2007 Volvo XC90 rear wheel bearing is 512273 no matter which drivetrain the truck runs.
- Both positions bolt on as complete hub units rather than press in as separate bearings.
- The 2016 and later XC90 is an entirely different vehicle and is not covered by these numbers.
Volvo built the first generation XC90 from 2003 through 2014 without changing its wheel bearing numbers even once. A 2007 Volvo XC90 rear wheel bearing is 512273, the same number that covers every other year in this twelve year run.
The core numbers
The front hub, 513208, and the rear hub, 512273, cover the entire 2003-2014 XC90 regardless of trim.
Both drivetrains, front wheel drive and all wheel drive, share the same rear number.

This page covers the 2003-2014 Volvo XC90: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. Other years live on the main Volvo XC90 wheel bearing page.
This is one of the simpler pages in this range: twelve years, two numbers, no split by trim or drivetrain.
A 2007 Volvo XC90 rear wheel bearing buyer does not need to check chassis codes or engine size. 512273 covers the position across the whole generation.
The XC90 that Volvo introduced for 2016 and later is a completely different vehicle. It uses none of the numbers on this page.
Year by year
Nothing changes across the whole run. Every model year from 2003 to 2014 uses 513208 at the front and 512273 at the rear, regardless of trim or drivetrain.
Why this generation stayed consistent for so long
The listings never change across the XC90’s entire first generation run. The numbers never split by year the way many other SUVs in this range do. A 2007 Volvo XC90 rear wheel bearing swap does not require identifying the exact production date.
Confirming the position and side is still worth doing before ordering, see how to check a wheel bearing.
Diagnosing a Volvo XC90 wheel bearing
- Identify the noisy side. Bearing noise on this SUV usually gets louder in a turn away from the bad side.
- Rule out tire wear. Cupped or uneven tires can produce a hum that mimics a bearing, see tire noise or wheel bearing.
- Check for play at the hub. Jack up the corner and rock the wheel top to bottom and side to side.
- Confirm front or rear. Both positions bolt on as full hub units, so note which one is affected before ordering.
- Listen while turning. A change in pitch through a turn helps confirm a bearing over a tire issue, see wheel bearing noise when turning.
