So I just bought a hp 30 out of a 98 for 150. my question is are the wheel bearing (hubs) the same for the 2000 lp axle. It wasn't long ago I put new Timken s in my 2000 and would like to swap them. I think the early xjs were different. I know the shafts are the same and my Spartan will swap.Just would like to keep hubs. thanks

 

No, the hubs changed in the middle of the 99 run. If you put a mid 99 and later hub on an earlier model, the rim hits the caliper and the jeep will not move. I just went through the same problem. There is a post here http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/r...posite-835898/ with more information.

 

I'll be swapping in a HP30 into my 00 in a month or so. I'd recommend sell your LP parts & buy new Timkins for your HP. Match the year for correct parts. Brake rotors are also different. Cast/composite. I think they are interchangeable though.

 

Thanks thats what i was affraid of. Are all the brakes thae same or are the rotors and calipers diff.im tring to get everything before i start..im going to check the thread out later.

 

I just saw yoy reply im hoping to be able to swap rotors and all.ive got extended brake lines a spartan new u joints new brakes in my lp.im going to have to buy new control arm bushings and prob more stuff thanks guys..by the way my club switch from u joint to CV joints out of grand cherokee . are they really stronger?
