Front Hubs

[HossHoffer]

:confused: Oops, I recently made a post advising someone to save money by getting their hub bearings pressed in by the machine shop. My apologies. That said, my bearings are shot and I need to find a better price for hub assemblies than NAPA at $150 a pop. Do I dare find some good ones at the pull-n-save or is that too risky? Are there upgrades I can buy that someone has tried?

Best I've seen are at Autozone for $120-$130 a piece for Timkens.

Hoss,

Do a search on P/N 53000228, it the Jeep part number for the hubs we use on our XJs. That how I found the best price on the web. When I pulled off the factory hubs I found the had SKF bearings, the new ones also had SKF bearings.

Also look at places like quadratec.com, rockauto.com, napaonline.com to see what price you can find.

FYI, Quadratec's Spring 2003 catalog lists the hubs at $129.95 each.

I lucked out and found one that was pretty new at my local pull-a-part. I think they charged me $8.50 It might be worth checking.

89XJ, if you're from the Philly area, I trust you are planning on attending NACFest 2003 at Paragon the weekend following Memorial Day. Check the NAC Forum and the Events forum for further info.
