Did a search and came up with bits of info but nothing conclusive

What years did the unit bearings change styles from the recessed bearing to the flush bearing.

I'm thinking 90 was the changeover. Then 99's had some issues with getting correct rotors, don't know about 00-01.

Yea I read on here and other forums, that mid-99 was the change over.
Look on the inside of your driverside door jam. I have a 4/99 build date, and I have the composite (older style) rotor. The hub is about $140 from AutoZone.

Just FYI Brian...that axle shaft assembly that Fergie got from you when I was broken down in Sedona was from a 84-89, per Eagle's post. The hub was different than the ones on my 96. That's why it didn't work. And it had a 260 u-joint.

No worries though. I'm keeping the axle shaft as a spare, minus hub.
