Front Wheel Bearing carriers now available
« on: August 19, 2015, 08:41:37 PM »
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.

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!!

AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
