what you were quoted is about right 1hour labor and the price of the bearing the thing that hurts is the bearing because in 98 they went from the sensor and ring to an internal abs sensor thats why these bearings are so pricey if i was closer to you i would come do it for less than what they quoted you

Ummm I have yet to find a J car with a sensor that is internal to the hub assembly. Try again.

I can do the job for $250 parts included.

please tell me that quote for the hub and bearing assembly is for both sides, if it's for one, you need to find somewhere new to go.

So your saying my 2000 does not have an internal sensor sorry try again because it does the head mechanic was a little surprised himself because the only thing he had done was 95 through 97 and i've had to replace both twice finally i got fed up and put in non abs and cracked the led to the abs light and T/C off light no annoying lights nor having to pull the ebrake one click or dropping two gears to disengage the T/C

j bodys do not have a internal sensor they have a ring on the axle for the ABS.


i can get the chepo bearings for 45 dollars and the good one for 89.99 at carquest

okay about this pricing you al must remember he went to a garage which means he's not getting trade pricing on any uf his parts he's getting list because my prices are the same trough work i just don't like t/c so i put the non abs in

Come to think of it the rears do have an integral tone ring, but I have yet to see one go bad. Its always the fronts.

that's not true, I've taken wheel bearings from a 97 and put them in an 02 and there the same, from 95-05 for sure...

Thanks for all your responses guys, but I couldnt wait and had to get it done. They did offer me $70 off the part price to make it 170, which still seems a bit pricey. Next time i will difinitely ask around here well before i have to get something done.

well I get mine done at the dealership, so I won't say how much they cost me

I replace one nearly every year, and I am just sick (actually lazy) to do it myself anymore, so the last year I took it in. Which reminds me, I need to take it in for both fronts next week.
