Yeah its sad how even all the good ol american companies are doin that! If a competitor does it they HAVE to or else go outta buisness getting hammered on price cause the sheeple dont care about anything else!!!

Hey thanks for the link! Hope its the right bolt,its not showing a picture or providing a description.

Hey guys, Yeah trust me Id rather stick with good ol american TIMKEN.But I REALLY miss my JEEP,gotta get er goin!Sometimes PRICE is REALLY hard to pass up!Why the hell did they have to go all 'non-rebuildable' on us? I would just go down to my local bearing shop and get stuff to rebuild them...

Has anyone used this brand of hub assembly?Theyre so cheap they must be made in some backwater of china,but at two for less than the price of one they might be worth it?Found em at:www.autoparts123.com/

thanks for the info,I guess my main thing is that I dont want to pay $7 for a bolt.That would be $42 for all of em,which I need because of a previous axle failure.Just tryin to get it back together cheap because I just bought a bunch of parts.Then again this is a life-support part,so cost...

hey thanks for the reply.Yeah that was the plan as far as grade,just wanted to know if anybody had used 'em.How long have you run 'em? were they just standard hex-head? That 12point head seems unnecessary.

Hey all, So I broke a front axle and had to drive on it a couple miles.Yeah I know big mistake,but it was after midnight and snowing and freezing cold.I only drove like 5mph.So anyway no surprise the busted axle chewed half the heads off the bolts that hold the hub assembly in place.I figured...

Hey guys just wanna be clear,wasnt bashin RUSTYS!

Nah,like I said that side never did find the bottom.The other side did,and the wheels were turned like 5 degrees or something,just barely.

Well guys I called RUSTYS today and they wanted me to send them a pic of the axle so they could send it to spicer to see if theyd warranty it.So i sent it to em and now I guess I just play the waiting game.Anybody got any experience with SPICER and parts warranties?I swear if I break one more...

Hey shortxjdoug you said they were just overcharging for it,do you know where to get em cheaper?

yeah i realize the shaft is not RUSTYS fault,just wanted to know if you guys think he'll replace it.And no i didnt SEE him do it but I HEARD him pulling out of the driveway,that MJs got a glasspack on it so its easy to hear.Stranger still is the fact that the PS front wheel was down to the...

as far as i can tell the ears on the outer stub just kind of went away! the joint is intact,the caps didnt even come off!!!

Hey all, Heres the story,me and my son just replaced the DS front axle in his '90 commanche with a "heavy duty" spicer replacement shaft from RUSTYS.Im sure you all know about these.Anyway last night he goes to pull out of the driveway,its snowing here and he backed into a small snowdrift,but...

Hey all, Thanks for all the ideas.The confusing thing about this is the Jeep has NO other quirks.Does not EVER stall or run rough or idle funny or ANYTHING.The engine only has like 30k miles on it,rebuilt it a couple years ago so its pretty well mannered.Maybe it is the CPS and it just hasnt...
