Roller Bearing Wheel Hub Assembly
I've heard that 84-89 cherokee's had roller bearing wheel hub assemblies. And it is possible to put those hubs on newer models as long as the rotor material matches the hub material. "Quote:Originally Posted by dopod
I just got done swapping out my hubs/rotors to the pre 89 style with tapered roller bearings on my 96. Works great
I'm glad someones finally done this!
Did you notice any changes (even subtle)? The tapered bearing should be much much more stable under torsional loads, which should (in theory) result in a more stable front end and less deflection." (jeepforum.com)
three quick questions:
1. what material are 84-89 rotors/wheel hubs, i have cast rotors.
2. if the OEM wheel hubs have tapered roller bearings does that necessarily mean that the china made replacement part will have them as well.
3. would slightly out of balance tires effect the wheel bearing, making it go out faster?
