With over 100,000.0 miles on the clock, ours still have the Factory installed wheel bearings!
Nothing wrong with them!

I just replaced mine at over 165000 KMs. But they were shot.

O.K. Thanks. The 4.0s I have been around have been both durable & reliable. Just my $.02.

x2. Just me though.

Update on page 1!

if your bearings are shot do you HAVE to buy the whole hub assembly too?

Yes,the KJ,along with 99% of all other new vehicles,use a non-serviceable unit bearing,you must replace the whole unit and no you can not grease them either.

Not seeing the separate bearings for the front,only the unit bearings.The separate bearings listed are listed for the rear axle and stated in the descriptions.

Right - for my 2007, I just received the hubs today. They were $158 and $160 each (one was more) and the ABS sensor was included.

You cannot buy just a bearing for the front. You can for the rear, but the front is a hub assembly only.

You want these for the front:

ok thanks guys

Can the old ones be disassembled? A local business, Motion Ind., can measure and match most bearings.

Redbone, to the best of my knowledge, no. But, they get assembled somehow, right?
