Title: Unit Bearing
Post by: BlackYJ on October 10, 2012, 10:41:40 AM
So the unit bearings on the ol' YJ are need to be replaced.  It has been many years since I have bought some where is the place to buy them these days?

I did the wife's YJ in the summer, autovalue was around 120 a piece with lifetime warranty. If the d35 is from an 89, bring a bearing with you, split year change and it'll save you a trip matching em up there.

The Autovalue UB have a better design than a few years ago.  It's a good bang for the $$.. I think.

Say what?


Oh, and in total agreement on Autovalue unit bearing quality . I'm replacing mine every 2 years instead of yearly.

My bad, meant d30. Some 89s have the rotors from the 90 d30. Different rotor = bearing. The parts catalog will only show you the 89 and previous. Check em or you'll figure it out AFTER you put it all back together.

90 and up has a shallower rotor, so a taller bearing. 89 and previous has a deeper rotor so shallower rotor. If you mix em up you'll know when you put your wheel back on and it won't spin.... Or put your old one beside your new one and make sure its the same height. It's only a problem for the 89 d30.

Thanks for the offer Aaron, but I have not bought the bearings and I am busy already on Saturday.  Maybe another weekend
