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

My truck doesnt run the needle roller either...I have different CV's and it now runs a bronze bush....

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.

grease, forget that!.........Oiled is the word

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
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...)
if your VIN is LA then more than likely it is an FTC 3154, has the needle roler internally etc. if prior then should be the one in your link.
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.
