2000 XJ needs front wheel bearing what is recommended?
Looking on RockAuto there are several to chose from. Is it one size fits all ? Should I get a heavy duty or standard? Do I need to worry about ABS sensors?

I went with TIMKEN HA597449 (Believe standard duty) when I did mine and had no speed sensor....I mean ABS sensor.

I also went with Timken HA597449 for my non-ABS 2000 XJ. This bearing is specific to 1999-2001. I think the ABS hardware is part of the axleshaft. I'm not aware of any difference in unit bearing between ABS and non-ABS, but if you have ABS, you might want to check.

Can confirm that ABS components are unrelated to the wheel bearings. As long as you get the one for the later 1999-2001 XJ, you should be good. Even 2wd models used the same bearings, IIRC.
