Just stumbled onto the fact that Crown is making Eagle front wheel bearing carriers now (roller bearing style - J3238526). So now you have a repair option if you spin a race in your bearing carrier.
Interesting. I wonder why they would invest in a part with limited demand. Maybe someone at Crown has an Eagle.
hi do you have the Crown part #? thanks, gz

thanks. part looks like tapered bearing piece, and is for all 80-88 Eagles, so I don't think it's just for the early roller style. looks good though. gz
The early style was ball bearings; not rollers.
I just had my front left hub bearing replaced on my 85 Eagle. They said it was pressed in wrong and/or the wrong grease applied. The bearings were replaced in 2012. Only 2000 miles on that one. I'll have to order the carriers!!
Im tempted to order a couple just to have in case
thanks for the info!
Probably used in some other car too. (Searched and found Bejing Jeep used them)
