    Does anyone know if there is a wheel bearing difference between 75-78 jeep Dana30 front axles? Want to make sure before I purchase bearings.

    Disc brakes use a different inner bearing and seal than drum brakes. Can't remember If the same inner race is used for sure but I believe so. Outer bearing and race should be the same.

    Interesting, I suppose I'll use the numbers off the bearings I pulled out of rotors.

    The bearings match the spindles. So if you use disc brake spindles you need the disc brake bearings and if you use drum brake spindles you need drum brake bearings.

    Yes, I read on this....I have front discs swapped on front. I'll just read numbers from bearings I have.
