Reviews for Crown Automotive D44TJBK Axle Shaft Bearing & Seal Kit for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ & Unlimited with Dana 44 Rear Axle and Drum Brakes

Perfect fit. You will need tools and mad skills to remove the old and press the new bearings into place

I agree with Michael. Pay attention to your parts. Use the old retainer if it's not the same as the new one. That being said. Kit installed nicely and easily. All required parts are there. No oil leak yet but I did all required prep work. 1500 km driven since installed

The kit itself is fine. But the reason I want to leave a review is to point out that the retaining plate in this kit is NOT for the Rubicon model. The basic flat plate you see everywhere does not have any pre-load for the bearing on the Rubicon because of the disc brakes it has on the rear.

These bearings failed less than 2 years after install. I'm not certain if this was an install issue or a faulty bearing, but they certainly should have lasted longer.

Seal started to leak in a day and the diff fluid got contaminated with metal shavings.
