Yukon Jeep CJ Dana 30 Front Wheel Bearing & Seal Kit - Timkin
AK F-J01
The Yukon Jeep CJ Dana 30 Front Wheel Bearing & Seal Kit provides the inner and outer wheel bearings, matching races, and wheel seal needed to service one front wheel end on compatible 1976–1983 Jeep CJ5 and CJ7 models. Built with Timken bearing components, this kit is a practical solution for replacing worn front hub bearings, repairing damaged seals, or refreshing a Dana 30 front axle during a Jeep restoration or trail build. It's a solid choice for classic CJ owners who want dependable wheel-end components for both street and off-road use.
Jeep CJ Dana 30 front axles take a beating from steering loads, rough trails, water crossings, and years of use. Worn wheel bearings can create hub movement, noise, heat, and damage to the spindle or hub if left unchecked. This Yukon kit includes both wheel bearings, their matching races, and a wheel seal so the major wear components can be serviced together. Before installation, inspect the spindle, hub bearing surfaces, and seal contact area to make sure everything is ready for the new parts.
Includes:
- (1) Inner Front Wheel Bearing
- (1) Outer Front Wheel Bearing
- Matching Inner & Outer Bearing Races
- (1) Front Wheel Seal
Important: This kit services one front wheel end. Order quantity (2) to service both sides of a compatible Dana 30 front axle. Verify the installed axle and wheel hub configuration before ordering.
