Anyone have the Timken, NGK or other manufacturer part number for 01 DS rear axle bearings? I have grinding noises in the rear end after several river crossings last weekend.


Thanks for the info.

 

There has been several threads with regard to the rear axle bearing failure. You may want to check the Bombardier recall effort.

Nevertheless your question brings to mind, why does everyone tend to lean towards repacking the bearings rather then replacing them with permanently greased and sealed bearings...... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

i used to have that # somewhere around, i'll hafta see if I can find it

edit: heres the only numbers i could find for that
bearing #32008X
seal#50-68-10 (this is a double lip seal)

i'm not sure wat company makes them tho, you could go to a local bearing place and see wat they have

 

here is what i have wrote down on my cheat sheet, timken #32008Xm $13.32 each, seals international #50X68X10 $4.04 each someone please correct me if I am wrong

 

your seal number is the same as mine, but u have an 'm' at the end of your bearing number, i'm not sure which one of us is right, lol

 

neither am I how is the weather there lilnotts? its 61 and sunny today
