The short version
- The 1987-1995 Jeep YJ wheel bearing lineup runs front hub 513084 with seal 710068. The rear splits between Dana 35 axles (5707 and 8660S) and Dana 44 axles (SET10 and 9912S).
- The catalogs document 1990 through 1995. For 1987 to 1989, match the old part or the VIN, since the axle family carried forward unchanged.
- The rear number is decided by which axle sits under the Jeep, not by the model year. The axle tag settles it.
- Dana 44 only shows up as an option in 1994 and 1995. It appears on YJs built with the flanged shaft rear axle.
The Jeep YJ ran from 1987 to 1995, the square headlight Wrangler that replaced the CJ. It carried a solid axle at both ends. This page covers Jeep YJ wheel bearing numbers for that entire run, front and rear.

This page covers the 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ: 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995. Other years live on the main Wrangler wheel bearing page.
The rear Jeep YJ wheel bearing number depends on the axle, not the model year. It comes down to Dana 35 or Dana 44.
Dana 35 uses cylindrical bearing 5707 with seal 8660S. Dana 44, with its flanged shaft, uses SET10 with seal 9912S.
Read the tag riveted to the axle tube rather than guessing from the year alone.
Year by year
1987 to 1989 sit before the catalogs start. The axle family carried over unchanged. Match the old part or the VIN, and expect the 1990-1995 numbers to apply.
1990 to 1993 are Dana 35 years across the board. They use 513084 and 710068 up front, with 5707 and 8660S at the rear.
1994 and 1995 add the Dana 44 option, with its flanged shaft rear axle taking SET10 and 9912S instead. The front hub does not change in these two years.
The Wrangler’s solid axle line
The YJ was the first Wrangler to carry that name. It kept the solid axle front and rear that still defines the platform today.
The TJ that followed in 1997 used the same solid axle layout. Its numbers differ from the Jeep YJ wheel bearing numbers on this page. The 1997-2006 TJ page covers what changed.
Both generations depend on how a solid axle changes wheel bearing duty compared to independent suspension.
Diagnosing a Jeep YJ wheel bearing
- Read the axle tag riveted to the tube before ordering anything for the rear.
- Rock each wheel at twelve and six with it off the ground, since play is the clearest sign.
- Listen for a rear hum that changes pitch with speed, which points at the cylindrical bearing.
- Check for water history, since fording depth on this generation regularly exceeds seal depth.
- Compare the old part number stamped on the hub or bearing against the table before buying.

Common questions
What wheel bearing does a Jeep YJ use?
The front 4WD hub is 513084 with seal 710068. The rear depends on the axle: Dana 35 takes 5707 and 8660S, Dana 44 takes SET10 and 9912S.
What wheel bearing does a 1988 Jeep YJ use?
1988 sits before the catalogs begin, so match the old part or the VIN. The axle family did not change. The 1990-1995 Jeep YJ wheel bearing numbers on this page are the working reference.
How do I know if my YJ has a Dana 35 or Dana 44 rear?
Read the tag riveted to the axle tube. It is the only dependable way to tell them apart on this generation.
Do I need a press for the front hub?
No. The front hub bolts to the knuckle as a complete assembly, unlike a repackable tapered set.
Is the rear bearing the same as a wheel bearing?
Not exactly. It sits on the axle shaft inside the housing. The axle bearing versus wheel bearing page explains the difference.
