Where can I find front axle bearings for a 05 Rubicon? I can't find them at Rocky Mountain.

its an 05, i can't possibly see that being a wear item, check warrenty, but i have a feeling its just dirt in the shock towers, if u run through high water and come out does it go away?

 

I agree front axle bearings should last at least 5 years on a utility quad unless the seals went bad and mud got in there, in which case it should be covered by the warranty if it hasn't expired yet.

 

I am not sure if its the bearing but it is making a squeaking noise where the boot goes into the gearbox. It's not real loud but you can hear it. The only reason I'm worried about is because I am going to Utah September 2 and do not want to break down on the trail. That why I think I am going to bring a bearing with me so if I do break down I can fix it.

 

If it was the bearing the wheel would feel a little loose and rattle if you have the front end lifted up and you shake the wheel. If it's squeaking you probably just need to grease the seals around the boot.

 

I'm sorry I was talking about the wrong thing. The differential bearing is squeaking.

 

I never heard of a differential bearing wearing out since there's not much stress on them. If it's squeaking it's probably just that the seals are dry and need greased. If you can't get in to grease them try wd-40 instead.

 

Do you have to tear it down to grease or spray it? I don't have much time right now.

 

No just spray some aerosol lubricant in there to stop the squeek. Its not a problem with regards to breaking down, just an annoyance.
