Simon_CSK Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I got home today and went to change a front tyre on my Discovery 2. When I refitted it I discovered that the wheel bearing was about to collapse. Fortunately I was able to take a wheel bearing from another Disco 2 I have to keep the car on the road. When I took it off I compared it to a rear bearing that I have taken off and have on the shelf and it looks almost identical to the front one. Are the front and rear bearings the same?

Landy-Novice Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 2 differences. 1, abs sensor is about a foot longer on the rear, but these can be removed, just dont forget the little o-ring and sensor shims if fitted. 2, rear wheel bearings have a grove for the o-ring to seal to the axle. so rear wheel bearings fit both front and rear. fronts wont fit rear unless they have a groove and youll have to trasfer old o-ring to the new bearing.

Thats great thanks and means I can fit the rear one I have to the front of the Disco that I robbed to keep mine roadworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read on a few other forums that the D2 front hubs had the longer sensor cable. I looked in the RAVE manual and it doesn't specify the lengths. Maybe the length is up to the different manufacturers of the hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Front sensor cables are definitely longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUKE179r Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Gotcha. Cheers! I received my pair of front hubs made by Taiwan company Trusted Reliable Quality (TRQ) part number BHA54105 / 1ASHF00449 which cross references to Land Rover’s part number TAY100060. These front hubs have the indent channel for the rear hub's o-ring. Edited February 19, 2020 by JUKE179r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
