Default front wheel bearing question

hi all
I need to replace the front wheel bearings on my 98 disco. Hearing that old growl for a while now. When I went to order parts I see most places show One bearing and race for around 16-18 bucks.

My question:
is there a separate size/type INNER bearing AND an outer bearing? Most parts outlets show just the one front wheel bearing with race. Though I did see an outlet that showed an Inner bearing available but it was a different brand than the outer bearing!!??

I'm confused again and need a nap..........

Thanks for your help in advance

Same bearing inside and out. Timken #LM603049. My local NAPA has them for about $7each.

LM603049 is the cone only.
Never install a new cone in an old cup except perhaps in a dire emergency.
The part numbers for the cone/cup combination are Timken SET37, SKF BR37, *** KIT38 or National A-37.
All D1's use the same hub bearing, 2 each in all 4 hubs.

And what about your rear wheels, they have the same bearings and wear also.

YIKES THATS EXPENSIVE!!!! especially if you take that x4 - Call Justin at www.lucky8llc.com and order just the bearings and the hub seal. And if you have had gear oil leaks order 4 new stub axles seals while you're at it. For the gaskets use "the right stuff" or black oil resistant silicone sealant. I use it on my stub axles, drive flanges, diffs, oil pans and well anything else that holds oil and uses a gasket. It's the secret to keep the oil in the rover or as much of it as possible for that matter.

Yes it is expensive, that is the route I took before I knew of other options.
The nice thing about that kit is everything is included, seals and all, and all from one place.
But it is a option for someone who wants to just get everything and be done with it.
Buy it today and FedEx can have it to your door by Sat.
