Unit Bearing


Recommended Posts

Be sure you have the composite rotors. '90 should be the first year, so you'd want the hubs that fit '90 thru mid-'99 -- but if yours is an early production '90 with cast rotors, you'll need the old style hubs.

You say you are going through rotors.... My quetion is why? :hmm: Are you installing them right? :wrench: You know the center nut require 175FT LBS of torque. MOst off the shelf torque wrenches only go to 150 :mad: This is one of those situations where Tight just might not be tight enough.

 

You also didnt mentin wether or not this rig is wheeled, and wheeled hard, This could cause them to wear.

 

What size tires are you running, and what is the offset? Stock is like 5" of BS, nost ppl run anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 of BS which all can contribute to the wear of your bearing.

 

Just a few things to think about before you buy wheel bearings with out a life time/ or 1 yr warranty. ON the warranty note... Advance only gave me one replacement set :mad: needless to say I found a wheeler friendly Napa, who under cut their price plus gave me a 1yr warranty, which I never needed to use :eek: :D

yes, they are torqued to full spec 175 lbs. yes the rig is wheeled. i keep going through unit bearings because i bought a used one from a shop (FS jeep) that just arent lasting b/c they have already been used and abused.

 

 

 

 

how do i know if i have cast rotors or composite? :hmm:
