Home › Vehicles › Jeep › Jeep Wrangler › 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ Wheel Bearing Part Numbers
The short version
- The 1997-2006 Jeep TJ wheel bearing lineup uses a front hub that changes at 2000, from 513084 with seal 710068 to HA597449.
- The rear still splits by axle, Dana 35 (5707 and 8660S) or Dana 44 (SET10 and 9912S), the same numbers the YJ used before it.
- Two questions decide a Jeep TJ wheel bearing order: the year for the front, and the axle tag for the rear.
- 1997 to 1999 carry the YJ’s front hub forward unchanged before the 2000 changeover.
The Jeep TJ ran from 1997 to 2006, the round headlight Wrangler that replaced the YJ and kept the same solid axle layout underneath. This page covers Jeep TJ wheel bearing numbers for that entire run, front and rear.

This page covers the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. Other years live on the main Wrangler wheel bearing page.
A Jeep TJ wheel bearing order for the front hub comes down to one date: before 2000 it is 513084 with seal 710068, from 2000 it is HA597449.
The rear does not follow the year at all. Read the axle tag to know whether it is a Dana 35 (5707, 8660S) or a Dana 44 (SET10, 9912S).
Year by year
1997 to 1999 carry the YJ’s front hub forward, 513084 with seal 710068, unchanged from the previous generation.
2000 is the changeover year. The front hub becomes HA597449 and stays that way for the rest of the run.
2001 to 2006 hold steady on HA597449 up front, with the same Dana 35 or Dana 44 rear split as every other year of this generation.
Between the YJ and the JK
The TJ sits between two other Wranglers on this site, and the rear numbers tie all three together. Dana 35 and Dana 44 rear parts on this page match what the 1987-1995 YJ page lists, since the axles carried over.
What changed up front is covered on the 2007-2018 JK page, where the hub changes again. Solid axle duty in general is on the drive type page.
Diagnosing a Jeep TJ wheel bearing
- Note the model year to know which front hub applies, before or after 2000.
- Read the axle tag before ordering anything for the rear.
- Rock each wheel at twelve and six with it off the ground.
- Listen for a rear hum that tracks with road speed rather than steering input.
- Match the old part number against the table if the axle tag is missing or unreadable.

Common questions
What wheel bearing does a Jeep TJ use?
The front hub is 513084 with seal 710068 through 1999, then HA597449 from 2000 on. The rear depends on the axle, Dana 35 or Dana 44.
What wheel bearing does a 2000 Jeep TJ use?
2000 is the first year of the new front hub, HA597449. The 1997-1999 hub and seal do not carry into 2000.
Does the TJ share rear parts with the YJ?
Yes. Both Dana 35 and Dana 44 rear numbers match the YJ, since the axles are the same.
How do I tell a Dana 35 from a Dana 44 rear?
Check the tag riveted to the axle tube. That is the only dependable way on this generation.
Is the front hub a press fit?
No. Both the 1997-1999 hub and the 2000-2006 hub bolt to the knuckle as a complete assembly.
