1997 4.0 Ranger Front Wheel Bearing Replacement

[cal74]

Looking at replacing the front bearings in my '97 Ranger 4x4 (manual hubs - aftermarket).

Doesn't look like I can buy the whole hub like the '98 and above, but could someone please point me in the right direction what I need for bearings and seals please.

Typically shop advance auto parts or Napa.

Thanks

just go ask for timken bearings for your year pickup, if you havent done rotors i would also get those with new races.

i was told last week at napa that they dont carry timken bearings, but they do carry national, and they are the same. ive also been told that skf is a timken product.

Here's the tech library article on the bearings

They are serviceable type bearings. Gotta have the special tool to take it all apart. Much stronger imo and alot cheaper to replace.
