That's what I am thinking.

Good that you'd keep the D2 even if you won lotto... so would I

I meant win the lotto on a OEM hub. My Timkin OEM hub lasted two and a bit years.

Supposedly ( not 100% sure) the OEM have timken bearings, definitely wabco sensors



If you're willing to reuse the front sensors you can order 4 X tay100050.

I'm at about 280k, but it has been certainly used during its like. I'd better prepare in that case. Thanks for this.

So the front and rear hubs are the same, just the sensor lead length is different between the part numbers? Thats really good to know, thanks!

Ok, what I've been able to find out from a search.

The front and rear hubs are interchangable on the D2.
The front hub part has a longer ABS lead compared to the rear.
There is disagreement between if the front hub has an axle seal groove so it can be used in the rear - you may need to check.
As Discorevy says, the rears can be used up front if the front ABS sensor is swapped over and reused.

Really good to know! Thanks Discorevy

Why would the front have a longer ABS cable than the rear? The front is closer to the ABS computer.

Because the proximity of the connector socket at the end the loom is not the same when compared to the rear.

Thanks! I'm about 280k, I'm guessing it wont be long. I hope yours is an easy fix.
