What kind of miles are you guys seeing before replacement? I know tire size and wheel backspacing will play a part but interested to know what everyone's experiences are here...
I looked through the thread, but didn't see if this was asked, but will the Timken one listed work for 2012+ JK's? It looks like the part number changed at that year (398AC to 398AD). just want to make sure before ordering.
thanks.
Just ordered a Unit bearing to replace my 24k front passenger side.
Moog #513272
I will be using this write-up for the install, thanks Eddie! :thumb:
Were you getting a wobble?
Yes. It is shorter but even at a full droop with my DTD's that have 14" of vertical travel, it still had enough length to it. Of course, I have long since pulled the plug off the frame and re-routed the line so that I could get more length out of it and would recommend you do the same. I think in 2011-up, the speed sensor lines were made a lot longer and on the 2012-up, they are long enough to get routed under the shocks.
Anyway, if I can make them work with my droop, you should be fine. :yup:
Just changed the bearings on my jku. Thanks for the great write up. Having just changed my ball joints this was a piece of cake.
I used the autozone duralast unit bearings which I discovered are made for them by timkin.
Question for you guys about the new speed sensor wire being shorter and having to re-route it. I was curious if anybody's tried to use the factory sensor wire on the new bearings. I used the new ones, but saved the oe's just in case.
Yup, you can definitely reuse the factory speed sensor wires if they're still working.

Is the bearing hub the same for a Dana 35 and a 44 ?
