:banghead: I would like to bring this topic back to the forefront since I think I need to replace my right front wheel bearing on my 06 Jeep CRD. I have spent a lot of time looking for pricing, socket size, and torque spec. without too much luck. The best price I have found is $215 for the right hand side (with ABS) at Advance Auto.
If someone has this info handy I would greatly appreciate your posting it.
Thanks

So per recommendations from others in the forum I found and replaced my driver side wheel bearing, TimKin brand for $200. :)
Here are a few notes I thought might help others. :wink:

Front hub and wheel bearings:
Wheel bearing cartridges are sealed assemblies that can not be lubricated.
They should have almost zero play.
With the front wheel still jacked up by the control arm, grasp each wheel, holding it first at the sides, then at the top and bottom. See if you can rock the wheel in and out, you shouldn't notice any looseness.
Also rotate the tire by hand. Any roughness or noise from the bearings will also tell you the bearings are worn or damaged.
If the bearing needs to be replaced, the right hand side (with ABS) part number is 52128692AE (or AA or AF). The left is 52128693AE (or AA or AF).

You need an External TORX socket size E-14 to do it.

Autozone carries timken brand also for future reference. I agree...Timken is a good brand for bearings.
