| Post subject: | front wheel/hub bearings |
Hi all recently while driving in my 05 KJ Sport I have noticed a low roaring starting around 20mph-35mph. It's my daily driver and sees some mild wheeling from time to time. Last Dec. I replaced stock tires with General Grabber AT2 245/70R16. Searched the forum regarding this topic for worn wheel bearings, did the low speed turn test yesterday and it makes less roar turning to the right and picks back up as I swing through straight to left turn. My question is I checked all around looks like the axle bearing/hub assembly is about 150$ on rockauto TIMKEN Part # HA599467(I don't have ABS). Rockauto also sells BCA/NATIONAL Part # SBK1 More Info{Bearing/Oil Seal Kit}Front Axle; Kit; Spicer 30-SF 7.125" R.G. appears to be the seals and bearing to replace in the front hub for about 10$. Has anyone pulled/packed/replaced just the bearings or suggestions whether it's worth trying this vise getting the entire hub assembly for 150$? Thanks for the input and help. Mike |
