Title: 97 V8 Grand Cherokee Wheel Bearing
Post by: Mick O on July 24, 2010, 11:42:19 AM

A friend of mine has a 97 V8 Grand which he keeps in Spain.
I believe its a UK spec'ed car.

He tells me that a rear wheel bearing has gone, and needs replacing but he doesn't trust the Spanish to fix it :102:, and is thinking of doing it himself.

So, as its a V8 would it have a 35 or 44 rear axle?

And, does anyone have any info, or links to info on how to change the bearing that I could give to him.

I would be very grateful for any help.
