Caps.. really are not needed MMM KAY?IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THEM, I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'D BELIEVE US, BUT MINE CAME IN A TIMKEN BOX, AND APPEAR TO BE TIMKEN HUBS- JUST LIKE THEY TOLD ME WHEN I ASKED. TWO YEARS AND THE WHEEL HASN'T FALLEN OFF YET.
Autozone will price match.
FWIW, I've pulled a few XJ/TJ/MJ D44s apart, and all of them had Timken carrier bearings, never been rebuilt till we opened them up. The XJ and MJ axles both had about 200K on them.
http://www.jeep4x4center.com/product-information.asp?number=53007449 those come from the OE supplier...Quadratec and many other places sell them, too, and the price varies. If you call up a place, just ask who supplies the part.If I can get them from the OEM supplier, and they last as long as the ones on my XJ now have, I'd be willing to pay 300 or 400 each.
MY XJ has 348,033 miles on it right now and it is still riding on the original wheel bearings.
HAS ANYBODY USED THESE ? AUTOZONE LISTS THEM ( THE GOOD ONES NOT THE VALUE LINE ) AS TIMKEN BEARINGS.DONT WANT SOME CHINA CHEAPEES THAT ONLY LAST 6 MONTHS. THEY SEEM ABOUT 20 BUCKS CHEAPER THAN NAPA OR CARQUEST. ARE THEY WORTH IT? ITS A 90 XJ.
good to know but i think the carquest guy said they were national not timken dont they have to be the same brand?If you want Carquest, they will likely price match the Autozone price. They did on my IAC the other day- saving $20.00+/-.
