Choosing the correct 1999 Jeep Front Hub Bearing




In order to verify which front hub bearing is installed
on your 1999 Jeep, it is required that one of the front
wheel be removed.

  • Once the wheel is removed, the brake rotor will
    be exposed and a measurement can be taken.

  • The "HAT" of the rotor will measure 2-1/8 or
    2-1/4 inches in height.

  • The 2-1/4 inch rotor is a COMPOSITE rotor and
    will take the bearing number 513084.

  • The 2-1/8 inch rotor is a CAST rotor and will
    take the bearing number HA597449 (513158).


Use the illustration below as a guide to find the
correct rotor/bearing.


  • A measurement of 2.125 (2-1/8 inch)
    will require bearing 597449 (513158)

  • A measurement of 2.25 (2-1/4 inch) will
    require bearing 513084
