I'm interested to learn if any of you folks have replaced the wheel/hub bearings on your KJ CRD's? My car has 147K on it and the front end is starting to sound a tad noisy and not to mention it's 10 y/o too. Thanks everyone. Tom |

Did the right front about a year ago just before 100k miles. Used a timken part from rock auto. About $150 if I recall. |

minisub, Was the noise very loud or subtle? Trying to decide on how to diagnose the problem. There is no lateral movement when I have the tires off the ground. I replaced both on my dads Buick Park Avenue and the bad one was very dry and noisy but had zero side play. Thanks for your post. Tom |

I replaced both of mine at 120k only because I was in there for a cv axle and figured they were coming due soon. I didn't really notice a noise, until I put the new timkens in. At all speeds the road noise was way quieter. I've had hubs go and can def tell when they do. I'm not sure how much I had left in the factory hubs but from the noise reduction I got with the new ones I'd guess they were close to failure Also, once removed. The old hubs did turn by hand harder than the new timkens |

Did mine at 110K. Noise sounded like snow tires (aggressive thread) hum. No play at all but noise gone when the hubs were replaced with Timkins. Not a difficult job. |

Timkens... I know the bearing company. But what company is using them is their hub assembly? |

I don't believe Timken actually produces automotive bearings anymore, they contracted various bearing makers that make the bearings to some standards Timken agrees with and slap Timken brand on the box. |
