Post subject:  Wheel bearings and axle shaft bearings
This might be a dumb question but are wheel bearings and axle shaft bearings two different components?
The reason I'm asking is I need my wheel bearings replaced and I still have the powertrain warranty but the dealer says wheel bearings are not under powertrain. Only the axle shaft bearings are warranted.

Thanks

Thr front of the KJ uses wheel bearings,they are a sealed unit that is not serviceable which makes it a wear item.The rear axle in the KJ uses axle bearings which are serviceable and lubed by the diffs gear oil.

Thanks tjkj2002. They installed a new hub/bearing assembly. They also changed the differential fluid front and rear. I just can't make out on the invoice between the front and rear.

2 vu01356 fluid
1 5013477ab sealant
1 vu01497 prts clnr
1 disc surf disc <----What is this?

2 5010320aa lubricant

Seams to be for the rear since the front is not a simple job to remove the diff cover(what the sealant is for) and why it has a drain plug.The surface disc is the resurfacing disc used to clean the old sealant off the diff and cover.
