Front wheel bearings
« on: September 24, 2015, 07:41:40 PM »
Ordered a pair of front wheel bearings for my 2000 TJ from EuroCarParts and as predicted, they have sent me the wrong ones. 

I think the ones they sent me are for Wranglers and Cherokees with composite brake disks and if fitted, would widen the track of the front axle and off centre my disks compared to the caliper.

So, the wrong ones are going back and Jeepey Mart have them (Crown) at £140 a side....

Jeep Monkey on eBay seem to be around £60 a side?..are they the same make/quality?  Anyone know this seller?

Is there anything I should be looking out for?
