Does anybody know off-hand the part # for the front wheel bearings for an '88 All-Trac sedan? I'm looking at Rock Auto and the only Timken bearings they have listed are for the FWD front end or the All-Trac rear end. Are the FWD bearings the same up front as the All-Trac bearings?

Don't know if you got an autozone if your area, but I got a hub repair kit for only 40 plus tax. Took off the knuckle which was practically a cinch and took it down to a machine shop and had em pressed out and the new one in for $25. So around 65 total.

Any idea on the brand of the bearing? I put some china-made bearings into my Geo before going straight-axle and they wore out in 5k miles.

Is that $40 for both sides or just one?

Looking in my 1988 Camry's shop manual (the official Toyota one) I don't see any differentiation between the FWD and AWD bearings. I could be wrong!

I ended up getting some Timken brand bearings because I just don't trust the Chinese ones. Cost was ~$100 a piece, but I feel it's worth it as I plan on keeping the car.

They're Duralast. It's for one side. It comes with both seals, the hub, and the bearings.

"TIMKEN Part # 514002B 1.4173 in. Width
DLX All Trac; 4WD; Rear
FWD; Front
- Stocked in outlying warehouse--shipping delayed up to 1 business day$30.79"

Pulled from RockAuto. Sounds like a fair price, just didn't want to get the wrong stuff. I'd prefer Koyo but don't know where to get them.

Rarely do you ever need to replace the bearings without replacing the hub as well, imo.

Front wheel bearings on the FWD and Alltrac cars are the same.

Thank you very much everybody. I'll inspect the hubs. The hubs on my brother's ST204 (Celica GT, USDM spec as the jerk in the Celica section said) were in great condition but the bearings were shot.
