what about the needle roller and seal inside the stub axle?
I do not run the seal inside the stub axle....I like my CV, bearings and axle/driveflange splines all running in oil thank you ;)Quote:

Bronze bush ?
Where would I get those ?
I'll be doing my bearings in a few weeks, going oiled aswell.
you only need the bronze bush if you change to a bigger/different cv. If yours is the stock 32spline cv you will NEED the needle roller bearing.Quote:

Thanks for that info
after some ringing around, I can get the wheel bearings in Timken for about $23 a set. The swivel bearings are varrying. Most arent selling as a set :confused:
I can get Timken pair (1 set) for $42....SKF pair (1 set) for about $50 or I can actually get NSK set for $19...
are NSK up to the same standards?
are these prices resonable or should I look online?
Just stripped mine apart today to replace a stub axle. Turns out I got given the wrong stub axle. Ive got a 1992 200tdi with a bronze bush in the back of the stub axle. One of these actually, Shop 4 Auto Parts | STUB AXLE OEM DEFENDER FRONT EARLY
Is this modified or was i given the wrong stub axle?
can you post a pic of what you have on your vehicle then? does it have the needle roller and inner seal? what is you VIN number (numbers aren't needed, just the letters...)Quote:

pics will help.

If it is a 92 then the one linked to is the correct one.92 should be a JA Vin or if real late,possibly a KA but still the one linked to.
But I guess it depends if it has been replaced with a later type previously.
exactly, that is why pics would help to work out if later LA onward bits have been fitted.Quote:
