Buy an aftermarket as with LR OEM you're paying double/treble for the name. Britpart had a bad reputation at one time but are good now so go with a Britpart unit. The front and rear bearings are interchangeable and are the same.

Don't forget to replace the hub staked nuts with new ones, also Britpart. Also advisable to replace the rear O rings and clean up the mating locations.

TIP: Timken are a top class bearing manufacturer although most bearings are made in the EU or far east now.

 

thanks everyone for the opinions. Ill snag one and if I have issues report back with mileage and time on the unit etc.

 

What brand was your ebay. or seller at least?

 

I'll look it up and see.

Edit: It was still in my watch list in case I ever needed another. Just under $70 and a 10 year warranty.

Also, the front and rear are the exact same hub. I've used this one in both locations. You just need to move your o-ring over from your old hub or get a new one. The ABS sensor is longer on the front hub, but if you're lifted this works to your advantage and if you're not lifted then you can just zip tie a little loop to take up some slack.

 

i just realized they were the same. I replaced the front axle in my rover and the junkyard rig i ripped it from has the hubs just conveniently laying right there under it. Well i had the disassemble all that from the axle so they are laying there because of me. All i gotta do is go grab it no tools required. Hmmmm 20 bucks sounds good.

 

That it does. The only hub I haven't replaced on my Disco is one that the PO replaced with a used unit.
