Well i got my hubs in, but something is not right. Which of the 2 is the correct one?

depends on which rotors you have.

Pull your old one and campare it to the new one.

Well I have a 97' I gotta do some searching to remember how to tell the difference.

BIG_J · 01-09-2009, 05:56 PM

I was wanting to do this tomorrow, but now i have to find a match first. I only paid $90 for the pair, and the guy refunded my $$ and has not sent me anything telling me what to do with these.

your 97 should have the composite rotors. it hard to tell from the pic, but the one on the right appears to be the right one (iirc the hubs for the composite rotors have shorter wheel studs. check the FAQ stickies to be certain, i'm sure there is a writeup in there.

It appears that you may have gotten replacement hubs from two different manufactures. They both may be correct. Read the info here - http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/any-difference-hubs-360959/ - and then measure the height of the ring that is around the where the 36MM axle shaft nut goes.

Cheap hubs usually don't last long. Timken is the brand name replacement hubs you can be sure will last a long time.

From this pic that seem to be diff parts. The overall hight is diff and thus diff parts. With wheel bearings I always go with timkins. I had several cheeper ones fail on me in under a year. The biggest thing to rem about replacing hud is to properly torque the cv nut. Sorry just a fyi....Rob

you can measure the brake rotors themselves with out having to pull them off (just pull the wheels). regardless of what you are supposed to have, that way you will know what you actually have. the parts are interchangeable as long as you match the rotors with the hubs.
